Is your business green?

Our company is green as we no longer use vans to get round London, also helps with the weight by walking and using public transport, also looking at the new cycle hire as more sites are opening daily?

Yeah same here with our accountant Steve but appart from that we are 95% paper free! And I agree with you about new businesses, with all the publicity about how you can be greener, it is easier for a start up to implement green practices.

Our business has just been awarded a place on the eco-Innovate programme in patnership with Lancaster University. We not only practice green policy we assit our clients to genuinely improve thier green status through a number of practices. Mostly though through the simple fact all our services reduce hardware use, power consumbed, and even in travel as our engineers dont need to go to a customer site to resolve any issue as it all sits within our data centres the main one only 5 miles from HQ

So if your a business looking to reduce your costs and carbon footprint - Hosted services all the way! (Oops blatant plug haha)

Seriously though, here's something interesting! We have just put our Hosted Microsoft Exchange service into a big national client with 200 mailboxes, and apart from the instant improvement in thier green credentials the client worked out our solution will save them almost £80k over 3yrs?

Back to the green thing.. Its a mindset with us, a part of life, business! Not a "what can we get out of it" excorise..

Am in real estate, and it seems like it takes an entire tree just to do a deal.

But, things are changing...slowly. Had our first nearly paperless transaction (the deed still had to be signed on paper to be recorded at the courthouse), a couple years ago. And things like electronic documents are becoming more accepted by customers.

So, I'd say not "green" today...but improving.
