While most of us have less control over our workplaces than we do over our homes, our commitment to reducing the damage to the environment cannot stop when we get to work. Everyday at work we make many decisions about water, waste and energy. Therefore, the workplace provides us with a great opportunity to become an agent of change toward sustainability and lead (or support) the greening of our work cultures and the means of production.

Join the Green Team

Join or create a work team focused on dreaming up and implementing schemes to reduce the impact your workplace has on the environment.

Make your Profession Sustainable

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor! How can we can reduce the environmental impact of our own profession?

Recycle Office Waste

Corporate social responsibility starts with people doing the right things at work. Ensuring our waste is recycled is a good step in this direction.

Power Down

Energy conservation at work saves resources, slows climate change - and leaves the boss with more money for your bonus!

Save Paper and Forests

The production of paper uses trees, chemicals, energy (greenhouse gases) and water. About one third of the garbage we throw away is paper. Let's avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle at work too!

Travel Together to Meetings

Travel to meetings and to work with your co-workers. It's efficient, it saves energy and it slows global warming.

Use Plants to Remove Toxins

Our places of work often suffer from poor indoor air quality, and as the toxins build up, our health can suffer. Try some plants that absorb toxic chemicals.

Buy Green Office Products

Organisations have significant buying power. Swinging that power around to make the best use of our limited resources is easier than ever.
