Corporate Express has recently announced two major initiatives designed to encourage and assist Australian businesses to become more environmentally and socially sustainable.
Corporate Express' Go Green Guide - for a Greener Workspace aims to encourage and facilitate sustainable procurement for Australian businesses. The guide includes tangible advice and simple 'how to' steps for businesses of all sizes, as well as almost 2,000 EarthSaver -classified products to help businesses make the right purchasing choices.
A partnership with GreenBizCheck, an internationally acclaimed environmental certification program, will meanwhile assess and guide businesses on what they need to do in order to make their business more sustainable, without requiring a large time or financial investment.
Jennifer Levasseur, CSR Manager at Corporate Express said: 'Businesses are increasingly under pressure from staff and customers to 'go green' and they have a responsibility to society beyond profit maximisation and job creation. However, quite often, businesses don't have access to the information they need to make this happen.'
