Virtual Offices Provider Servcorp’s Green Offices Project helps offset Greenhouse emissio

Nov. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Teaming up with Greenfleet, Servcorp has launched the Green Offices Project that pledges planting one tree for each Virtual Office sold online. To date, Servcorp has planted more than 13,180 trees in their ‘Servcorp Forest’ and the initiative has offset carbon emissions equivalent to 994 cars every year.

The Green Offices Project was originally conceptualised and developed to help create a positive impact on the environment.  The entire Greenhouse gas emissions of the Servcorp head office can be offset for five years already just by the sheer number of trees planted so far.

Virtual Offices are ideal for businessmen and women looking to save on the overheads associated with leasing their own office space. Additionally, it also gives them the opportunity to set up multiple bases and an address to use on their business cards, letterheads & for any corporate communications. Servcorp Executive Director, Taine Moufarrige says they are inherently better for the environment too: “Not only does a virtual office give you a professional address, receptionist, mail and call forwarding, and meeting spaces, you’re reducing your environmental footprint by not physically setting all this up yourself”.

While the Green Offices Project is helping reduce Servcorp’s environmental impact, the company is helping its customers to make a more positive change. Mr Moufarrige says: “Certainly our Virtual Office customers are contributing to lower Greenhouse gases by only driving into the office when they have meetings scheduled. The rest of the time they’re working from home; instantly cutting Co2 by using their car less”.

The success of Servcorp’s environmental program is aided by its online signup process that has lead to eliminating the need for paper based forms and administration, adding to the positive effect from the Green Offices Project of planting a tree for every online sale of a Virtual Office. Mr Moufarrige also said: “Before the online interface, we were using over 100 sheets of paper for each new signup, we’ve now reduced that to just four per client”.
