What we are doing...
We took a room and...
...bit by bit examined what we needed to
do. Pencils supplied are now made from recycled CD cases,
meeting blotters from recycled car tyres and coasters from recycled
vending cups... still all stylishly five-star but a lot more
appealing knowing the environment has been respected.
The organisers tool box is made from 100%
recycled card of course but it now includes items such as
stapleless staplers, shake & power calculators and recycled
sticky pads etc, all tested to fully function in the way you
want.
Time for a coffee break…
We already utilise our fabulous local food
suppliers in the most proactive way, working with them to ensure
our produce is fresh, of the highest quality and has not travelled
far! Further afield (as necessary) we have sourced Fair Trade
coffees and / or ethical teas - a seemingly small gesture
that could snowball into a huge impact.
And not forgetting
water in a meeting room… we chose to continue with Hildon Water
because as a result of our ‘green’ commitment they themselves have
decided to become a CarbonNeutral® company, working with our
partners The CarbonNeutral Company, plus they fell into our local
supplier projects being a neighbour of Lainston House. In
addition, they have also created an Environmental Project to fund
numerous green initiatives specifically related to water projects
within the UK.
