We had a question from a prospect at Web 2.0 expo about the amount of marketing materials that we use at shows and was it eco friendly? In answer to this and to highlight what we do, I just wanted to post about all the good things that we do to limit and environmental impact that we have. We are very passionate about the world we live in.
That is why it is part of our company philosophy to be actively environmentally conscious in everything we do, not least the marketing materials that we produce. The company has a strong focus on ensuring that we minimise our environmental impact by doing a number of things:
• We offset any carbon emissions for business travel. In fact, in the last two conferences that we have attended (Etech 07 and Web 2.0) we have actively encouraged those attending these conferences to offset their flights at OUR expense.
See http://etechcarbon.realm.zimki.com/ and also http://expocarbon.realm.zimki.com/.
We offered to offset the first $5000 of carbon emissions, in the hope that people would go back and try to convince companies that they should also be offsetting their carbon.
• ALL our marketing material are printed either on recycled paper or on paper from sustainable sources. We even use printers who use environmentally friendly processes.
• We were also awarded a Green Mark level 1 by achieving the following:
• Having an environmental policy
• Getting senior management commitment
• Having a general level of environmental awareness
• Committing an employee as an 'environmental champion'
• Meeting key pieces of environmental legislation
• Illustrated that we have taken steps to minimise our overall environmental impact
