In order to reduce our environmental impact, we work every day following these simple green premises. We encourage you to join this initiative:
- Set computers and printers to “sleep” after a few minutes.
- Print and copy both sides of the paper.
- Replace a lightbulb with CFL’s.
- Remember to turn off computers, printers and monitors when leaving.
- Turn off toasters, coffee machines, or others when you are not using them.
- Charge your mobile only until it’s done, don’t leave it plugged in more than you need.
- Control the use of Air Conditioning to prevent energy waste .
- Use ceramic mugs or reusable glasses, rather tan disposable ones.
- Choose the most energy-efficient version of everything you buy.
- Encourage your colleagues and partners to save energy.
- Encourage your colleagues and partners to share a ride or a cab.
- Finally, use the tools that the Internet has to offer: Optimize your website and the use of e-mails, voice calls, and videoconferences. It will lower your costs and will prevent carbon emissions from transfers.
