Becoming an exemplary Green Office manager

Through their leadership, managers are prominent players who can promote sustainable development in their department by implementing policies and environment-friendly practices.

If you are in management, tell us what you do to encourage your employees to save paper. Your answers will help us evaluate management's commitment to the promotion of sustainable development.

Which of the following do you do?

Statement		I do this	I will do this from now on
	I set an example every day by using practices that clearly cut paper consumption.
	I always order recycled paper in order to extend paper life.
	I provide employees with training on the use of copiers, especially the double-sided function. This will contribute to reduced paper usage.
	I circulate an electronic memo among employees, reminding them of the double-sided printing procedure. I post this information near the copier.
	I review existing forms to be sure they are necessary, with a view to reducing their number or use.
	I request that forms, user guides and other documents are posted on the intranet and readily available to all employees and discourage printing them.
	I regularly review subscriptions to magazines, newspapers and distribution lists to make sure they are still up to date and correctly addressed. I know that managers can also refer to the policies and charters recommended for printing and archiving, as well as purchasing environment-friendly supplies.
