If you want your office products supplied by a company with real green credentials then make sure you do your homework. The environment matters to all of us so look for a company with a distribution partner with an ISO 1401 environmental accreditation. Distribution partners with that are part of a FTSE 250 company, are constantly updating and refining it’s systems to make their whole operations leaner and greener. Transport is a major part of the office supplies business. Look for a company that has an efficient transport network and has been optimised so it makes fewer journeys, with fewer miles driven and less Co2 emissions.
When a delivery of goods is made, any waste, plastic, paper or pallets should be picked up and returned on the same vehicle, simple.
The fleet should be maintained to the highest specification keeping it running efficiently and an ongoing investment by the distributor in efficient vehicles will further reduce their impact on the environment.
The distributer’s warehouses and offices should have tough targets for reducing gas and electricity consumption. That will be great news for the environment and the reduction in cost should helps keep prices for the consumer.
The result is a substantial reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfills. Reducing the impact on the environment. When it comes to products the same approach should be maintained. Products with environmental accreditation should clearly be marked on the companies’ webstore and the packaging.
