Green Officiency Challenge

What Is Green Officiency?

The Envirowise Green Officiency CD-ROM Toolkit will help offices boost profits and cut waste. The toolkit is aimed at office managers (administrators and secretarial staff) within commercial offices. The toolkit focuses on encouraging managers to identify, manage and reduce the various types of waste produced within the office environment.

The Toolkit will guide you through four key stages for implementing a waste minimisation programme: an introduction to waste minimisation, a guide on identifying waste, a section on targeting and gaining commitment from management and staff, and a final section on recording base-line data and calculating the savings.

"The Green Officiency Challenge Toolkit has been extremely useful in helping us at Groundwork Rossendale to implement an environmental management system (BS8555). As we are mainly office based, it was very hard to identify exactly how and where we impact on the environment, as case studies on office environments simply did not exist. The presentation helped the implementation team identify sources of waste and the practical tools, guides and spreadsheets have ensured the message is communicated throughout our Trust."
Liz Hinchliffe, Team Leader Healthy Communities, Groundwork Rossendale
