Today Green Office Week focuses on transport.

We know transport makes up the biggest part of our Carbon Footprint and we work hard to reduce it. Here are a few tips that have helped us to make big reductions in our footprint.

• Check your Vehicle! Checking the oil and tyre pressure and making sure the vehicle is running efficiently means less fuel and lower carbon emissions
• Plan your journey! We asked our driver the route he would take & compared it to a route planner – the route planner gave a journey 10% shorter!
• Drive carefully. Excessive acceleration and braking is not fuel efficient, gentle acceleration and braking will ensure you get many more miles per gallon.

Obviously, these tips can only go so far and in order for us to reduce our Carbon Footprint further we need the help and support of our customers. So, before you pick up the phone to order that one box of staples (you know who you are!) think, if I placed 1 order for all my stationery instead of 2 this week I can reduce my Carbon Footprint by 50%!
