A recent survey by #HP found that nearly half of the employees surveyed will choose a #sustainableorganization over one that does not prioritize #sustainability in the #workplace.

Let’s look at four tips to create a #cultureofsustainability in the workplace, combining the power of technology with a clear strategic vision.
1. Move on from paper
Shedding paper dependency is the first step towards fostering green-conscious #companyculture. The global consumption of paper has increased by half since 1980, despite the increasing prevalence of digitization. For example, an average office worker in the U.K. uses approximately 10,000 sheets of paper every year!
To resolve this, tech companies such as #Visionect have created an electronic paper alternative that’s wireless, convenient, and sustainable.
Visionect’s e-paper technology can be seamlessly integrated with your office tech, and you can use it for sharing meeting schedules and documents. The solution boasts all the conveniences of paper – a 13-inch to 32-inch display that can be placed anywhere in your office, continually showing the desired message.
2. Make event management fully virtual
The typical workplace will hold several events around the year, from internal employee engagement initiatives to customer meets and forums for product showcasing. These events are high on paper consumption, requiring approvals from multiple stakeholders across the supply chain. Invoices from the caterer, invitations to participants, schedules and agendas – chances are, you’re storing a lot of it in a physical format.
Event management platforms like #Azavista transfer these responsibilities to a virtual system. The entire event can be planned on the software. Payments for products and services are built right in. You can even organize hotel reservations and travel itineraries, without writing a single word on a piece of paper.
These small efficiencies at every step ensure adherence to policies for sustainability in the workplace.
3. Cut down on commute waste
Employee commute places pressure on the environment to absorb large amounts of carbon emissions. Not only does it require continuous fuel expenses, but it also reduces the number of time employees have left to contribute to value-adding work.
Studies suggest that typical business could save a massive $11,000 per person per year by simply switching to work-from-home for telecommute-compatible roles!
Of course, commute continues to be a staple in our professional life – which is why carpooling can be considered as a viable alternative to an individual, private transport practices.
Organizations can leverage carpooling software like Comovee to embrace sustainability in the workplace. This demonstrates your commitment to green-conscious practices, offering the amenities required to stay sustainable as part of the employee benefits package.
4. Optimize food and beverage options with a sustainability focus
Eating in the workplace can be a significant cause of environmental inefficiencies, due to:
Non-responsibly sourced produce
Inaccurately measured portions
Non-recyclable packaging
Non-compliant suppliers
This also has an impact on our wellbeing. Junk food (also the biggest perpetrator of plastic packaging) negatively influences employee health, while providing healthy snacking options at work drives measurable ROI.
Increasing awareness in this area has led to specialized software for healthy and sustainable eating choices at the workplace. Optimeal offers a scientifically proven tech solution for optimizing employee diets based on #health and sustainability.
