Environmental Policy for Employees & Contractors
At Enablen, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and creating a sustainable future. To encourage environmentally preferred products and practices in virtual offices, we have developed the following policy for employees and contractors:
1. Purchasing: Whenever possible, employees should purchase environmentally friendly products for their virtual offices, such as paper made from recycled materials, energy-efficient lighting and devices, and other products with reduced environmental impact. Employees are encouraged to look for eco-labels and certifications when making purchasing decisions.
2. Recycling: Employees are required to recycle all applicable items, including paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal. All e-waste should be properly disposed of by electronic waste disposal companies.
3. Use of Energy: Employees should turn off all electronic devices and lights when they are not in use. They should also utilize power-saving features on their devices.
4. Printing: Employees should minimize printing whenever possible. When printing is necessary, employees should ensure that they are using double-sided printing and minimum ink usage.
5. Communication: Management will promote the use of electronic communication methods like email, messaging and video conferencing to reduce travel and paper waste.
7. Hazardous Materials: Employees should ensure that all hazardous materials purchased for employee home offices are safely stored and disposed of. Any hazardous materials used should be handled with care to prevent harm to the environment.
By implementing these policies, we hope to encourage employees and contractors to take an active role in promoting sustainable practices, and ultimately contribute towards a positive impact on the environment. We believe that through these efforts, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and promote a healthier planet for future generations.
