We aim to reduce our paper use within the business by at least 25% over the next 7 years; this will be achieved by scanning documents and duplex printing. We will use endeavour to use sustainably sourced paper for our printing, where possible. We have introduced technology to support a paperless working office and access for our staff to centrally held information and files, therefore reducing the need for paper copies of drafts and documents. We will shred all confidential waste paper for recycling. We have moved all offices over to renewable energy, where possible. We actively encourage our staff to continually review and challenge more sustainable practices.

We utilise online information, marketing and advertising to limit our need to paper based promotional literature. We promote and use Video Conferencing as often as possible to reduce inter-office and client travel requirements. We support the Green Earth appeal and automatically forward e-mails with previous trail in attachments to lessen the burden of printing. We encourage staff to cycle to work by participating in the Government backed Cycle Scheme and encourage walking, the use of public transport and car sharing when staff need to travel between office locations.
