How Green is your business?

As we adopt a Green lifestyle at home by recycle items, use energy efficient appliances, thinking about the type of car we have based on their carbon emissions, we have also began to take this approach in our business work as well.  Businesses are beginning to realise that they must adopt Green behaviours in order to contribute to the wellbeing of the environment. This can be anything from ensuring that all waste paper from the business is recycled to signing up to other Green initiatives such as only using certain products from certain sources within the business.

It is not only the products and services that a business uses that can be seen as Green – technology plays a vital role in helping a business to be Green:-

1. Turn your office into a paperless office – this can easily be done now due to the storage capabilities offered by new computers and storage devices. By storing all information, documentation, files and so on electronically paper is saved in great quantities, which helps your business be Green by saving paper which saves trees.

2. Use video interviews whenever possible for first round interviews – this is one of the newest advances in technology as more businesses now are using video interviews rather than having face to face interviews with candidates in the first round. This not only saves time for the candidates and businesses but it is a very Green way of conducting interviews as there is no travel involved to the interviews which cuts down on carbon emissions.

3. Use webcams as a form of communication between businesses – this is a very useful way of having meetings as each person can stay in their own office and by using a webcam they can have meetings or conferences with others without having to travel, once again saving carbon emissions.

4. Choose new energy efficient computer hardware and peripherals – doing this will help your business to save energy which can also lead to money being saved also which is an added bonus.

5. Have ink cartridges refilled – doing so will not only be another money saving option for a business as refilling cartridges is much cheaper than buying brand new ones but it also reduces the amount of old empty cartridges that are being thrown away each week.

6. VoiP calls (Voice over Internet Protocol) do not use regular telephony technology as calls are made over the Internet, in this way technology helps businesses to be Green as VoiP shares Ethernet copper which is actually toxic and is already in place to complete an Internet connection.

BT BizBox can help your businesses to be more Green.  Being Green was once quite difficult for businesses but today it is commonplace and new technology helps.
