GavelTo be considered a truly sustainable company it is important that all legal requirements of your company are met and in place. Things like licenses, permits, employment laws and OSHA training must be part of a good sustainable program.

But just meeting what is required is not always enough. The Strategic program encourages your company and your employees to exceed the regulations and in some cases create your own when there are none in place.

Addressing these legal issues is part of the Strategic program and it’s just one more thing that makes it different from other programs you may find. There is more to sustainability than just the environment and the Strategic program includes all the issues you need to address.

Choose models that will duplex since ultimately the greatest source of carbon emissions from office machines is the embedded energy of consumables like paper and ink.
