Greenshop Group

We win a Greenest Office Award

We are really pleased to be the National Winner of Cartridge World UK’s Greenest Office 2009.

From architects to law firms to engineering and construction companies, all entered this competition. First of all we heard we had won the Regional Award (which we thought was great) and a week later only to be informed we were the Overall Winner!

To achieve this we had to answer various questions (each question completed with 200 words). Such as “What work are you doing to reduce your waste and increase recycling?” “What steps have been taken to reduce your energy consumption?” “What work are you doing to manage your carbon footprint?” “What is the carbon footprint per staff member?”

It was an interesting exercise to work out some of the figures, and as mentioned in the last newsletter we have become a carbon neutral company and in doing so be associated with the company Co2balance.

Cartridge World said ‘The reason why the Greenshop Group was chosen was due to the fact that environmental considerations made up a fundamental part of the business, and showed that this can be achieved without any detriment to running a successful business. Congratulations to all.’
