Green Business
We are keen to make our business as environmentally friendly
as possible. The following steps lead us into becoming a greener company…and we
strive to become greener.
Reducing our carbon footprint
Having spent years commuting for other companies, it was of
vital importance to us when Web Boutiques was first set up, that this was going
to come to an end! We have organized our business so that it is feasible and
effective for all employees to either work locally or from home. While some
travel is unavoidable, we have made sure that all company cars are diesel.
While we often arrange preliminary meetings with our clients
face-to-face, most subsequent meetings (this includes 99% of all our design
meetings) are carried out using teleconferencing and web visualization. This reduces our carbon
footprint and has so far proved highly effective.
Saving energy
All office equipment is turned off at night. While this may
sound obvious - there are many companies that don’t! This reduces energy by
50%.
Reducing waste paper and recycling
Almost all correspondence is by email and printing documents
has been reduced by emailing documents to clients or sending links with the
relevant information.
Any paper that is used by our company is recycled. We are
currently looking into suppliers of recycled products for businesses, such as
paper, toner cartridges and plastics.
