Going green more than going mainstream
Going green it is not just following a trend. Going green is embracing your environmental responsibility. It’s our duty for this and future generations.
On regular basis we operate and function utilizing technologies without making use of their capacity to decrease CO2 emissions or tree cutting and oil usage.
Your operations may have logistical requirements that may have implications for the Environment; for example: your company has different branches, each of one has a sales manager. You not only need constant feedback from them, but you need reports of each department’s performance. Now, in order to do all these you would need to travel, get your car and drive it, or sometimes even take an airplane.
Active Reception can actually help you decrease the time and money dedicated to these duties as it allows you to perform many previously travel dependant tasks, directly from your desk. You can set up sales teams and review their performances just with one click. You can reassign tasks, prepare ready answers, redirect conversations to a more specialized person if need be. All without commuting.
Also, we are conscious that 1 tree makes 8,333.3 sheets, so instead of sending your customers their invoice by mail, have AR send it for you automatically to them electronically. Automation will both reduce your work load and you’d not be contributing to massive deforestation.
Our product is not the only thing that goes green
At AR we do our utmost to contribute to our precious environment and reduce our carbon footprint.
Very well illuminated working rooms prevent our staff from using electricity unnecessarily and we have been using low consumption light bulbs for the last 2 years.
We are always seeking for creative ways to stimulate our team to save energy: Eco Smoochie, our green pet, sends an email to all our colleagues 10 minutes before the working day is over reminding them to switch off lights and computer screens when not in use.
It is company’s policy to print only when is absolutely and unavoidably imperative, reducing this way the amount of paper usage. Consequently, every time we send an email we warn the recipients about printing if inevitably.
As a way of paying tribute to our mother nature, once a year the entire company takes a day off work to plant trees and give to the city of Skopje a few extra lungs.
Purchasing with social principles
For the past decade citizens from around the globe have gained an incredible knowledge about their impact on the environment. Probably because we live in a more than ever mediated era, today we count with loads of information that make us purchase in a more cognizant way.
That being the case, consumers can express their ethical choice by either purchasing products that meet certain standards or not purchasing those that do not meet them.
Having said this, it is high time managers across different industries acknowledge and be aware of how this ethical consumerism movement because it will not only have serious implications in their business and in their decision making process; but also in our planet in peril due to the products manufactured on daily basis.
