•   Consider if travelling to a meeting is absolutely essential – could time and effort be saved by arranging a teleconference instead?
•   Investigate web conferencing – a web interface can have many benefits, not least it can be used to share documents and collaborate on presentations

It may also lead to increased staff productivity through reduced stress. Please read our   environmental publication   for help, advice and assistance.   for help, advice and assistance.
•   Involve staff across all levels to help gather practical ideas for tackling environmental issues more effectively and increasing productivity throughout the workplace
•   Plan staff travel commitments well, and encourage easily accessible conference venues to reduce travel
And finally – make sure documents are sent electronically as often as possible, and only print them out when absolutely necessary. Envirowise offer UK businesses independent, confidential environmental legislation and support on practical ways to go green business.
