"Are your business's green credentials below par? Is your workforce teeing up for a cleaner future, or are your uncontrolled costs driving your profits into the rough?"
Envirowise, a Government-funded programme that helps UK business profit from environmental efficiency, is challenging the nation's companies to bag real-world savings by playing its virtual golf game.
Puttitaway, allows you to try pit your golfing skills against colleagues and rival companies on an 11-hole course which flags up tips on making your business leaner and greener. And if you feel the need for real competition, you can step onto the national stage to take on other UK regions to see who's the 'greenest' on the green.
Martin Gibson, Programme Director at Envirowise, said:
"UK office workers waste enough printing and writing paper every day to cover a championship golf course over 300 times! Yet improved resource efficiency could save a company up to £1,000 per employee per year – both a financial and environmental reward.
"This new golfing game is a fun way to help businesses understand the sorts of simple steps they can take – and probably reveal a few competitive streaks along the way!"
