Office Basics is committed to being a sustainable and responsible company. We have outlined 8 principles and practical steps to reduce carbon emissions, embrace the circular economy, and integrate sustainability into our services. This sustainability policy statement reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
Here are some of practices we follow within our company
- Avoid the use of paper wherever possible. For example, invoices and quotes can be emailed as PDF files.
- Recycling equipment that is no longer of use to the company. For example, giving away items such as computers and printers that we no longer use.
- Keep energy usage low. For example, use low-energy light bulbs throughout and ensure that computers are shut down after work.
- Reuse wastepaper (from the printer) where possible, print on both sides of paper when acceptable.
- Purchase products made with recycled paper. For example, paper towels, printer paper
- Purchase products with a lower environmental impact. For example, environmentally safe soaps and detergents.
- Use water dispensing machines for water consumption. For example, to eliminate plastic bottle waste.
- Participate in a toner and ink recycling program.
