BackWhat's our carbon footprint?
27 March 2009
It was with a slight sense of trepidation that we sat down for our first meeting with two energy consultants who we have commissioned to establish just how deep our carbon footprint is.
While Society Media has always strived to be environmentally responsible, there is something a little daunting about starting a process which will reveal how much we have got right.
The process will consider everything from the way we power our offices to the impact of all the print we buy on behalf of our clients. We have had a nagging urge to be able to quantify the impact of even the most environmentally responsible print processes.
Our aim is to be in a position to let clients know exactly what the impact of the services they commission from us is. We also want a plan of action to help us reduce our carbon emissions.
So far, so good. The consultants were thoroughly pragmatic and professional. We didn’t see a single sneer or raised eyebrow to any of the answers we gave.
We will keep you posted on our progress. In the meantime, we would like to hear from anyone with thoughts or tips on making their workplace green.
