Green Office ????

Employee involvement and training in Green Office program can lead to improved employee morale. The benefits of Green Office Management include cutting waste and energy consumption in office procedures, reduce your environmental impact at work and the difference you can make in your business and finally inspire and promote a positive staff culture in your organization.

The aim of the programme is to offer offices a simplified environmental management and certification system, with a special focus on CO2 emissions. The ultimate goal of Green Office is to combat climate change through increased energy efficiency, the use of renewable, reduced natural resource use, and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles through enhanced employee awareness.

Green Office is a voluntary certification programme operated by WWF Finland. It is a practical environmental programme that is easy to implement. Its aim is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and offices' ecological footprint. Green Office is suited to offices – both large and small – in private companies, the public sector and other organisations. The scheme benefits both the organisation and the environment and provides its participants with advice and information on how to achieve energy and resource savings. Furthermore it provides stakeholders with information about offices, which are considered ‘green’, i.e., whether they are good potential business partners or attractive employers to work for.
