Environmental Policy

At Work Interactive we are committed to continuously reducing our impact on the environment. Due to our line of work both purchase of materials and production of waste are minimal. Bearing this in mind we're happy to announce we've significantly reduced our environmental impact and carbon footprint again over the past year by implementing some tactical changes in the way we work:

Travel Reductions

A third of the workforce now walks or cycles to the office. We try to keep business travel to a minimum with the majority of work with clients being carried out electronically or by phone. When travelling is necessary, public transport is our first choice if possible. At times when car usage is needed we aim to plan more than one meeting in that geographical area; thus limiting such journeys and their environmental impact.

Energy Consumption

We keep energy use low by continuing to turn off equipment / lights (low energy light bulbs) which are not being used. Natural light is used wherever possible.

Stationery

All stationery such as envelopes, paper etc is sourced from recycled stock where possible. Staff are encouraged to use unwanted paper as scrap first before recycling.

Recycling

We reuse resources whenever possible rather than dispose of them. Non-confidential paperwork is either used to make notepads or recycled. Cans and cardboard are also sent away for recycling on a weekly basis. Confidential paperwork is shredded and composted. Old electronic components for computers are wherever possible used to build computers for friends/family members.

Printer Cartridges

We refill all printer cartridges for repeated use, saving money on the cost of expensive ink cartridges and the environment. We recently defaulted to using greyscale for all non necessary printing where possible.

PC's & Mac's

All PC's are first reused internally, with high end designer's PC's being passed onto to lower end administrative roles as they age. Once a PC or monitor has passed its effective use within the company it is passed onto local schools for use or where not possible to Computers for Charities.

Our policy is regularly reviewed, with updates included as and when current objectives are met and new ones are identified. We are committed to ensuring that Work Interactive staff, our current and potential clients plus the general public can access our policy easily. Every little helps and we're committed to being green.
