GREEN OFFICE PLAN10 Things we can do to “green” our officeA MANIFESTO from the Sustainability Task Force and Change Group - PhilippinesTARGET IMPLEMENTATION: 28 April 2008 / Monday

Activity How To WHY? / Remarks

1 - LIGHTS OFF All lights (except the Reception lights) will be turned-off during lunch time, specifically from 12:00noon to 1:00pm

Green Note: Switching off one bulb for one hour saves up to 22,000 watts per year.

2 - RECEPTION DOOR Electronic locking will be disabled during office hours.

Doing this will save electricity in operating the automatic door closer.

3 - TURN-OFF MONITOR Computer monitors should be turned-off after office-hours.

4 - UNPLUG PHONE CHARGERS & OTHER EQUIPMENT

All chargers for cellfone, mug warmers, AVRs, digital cameras, iPods, MP3/4, others must be unplugged.

Green Note: In the US, 95% of energy used by a phone charger is wasted by being left plugged-in.

5 - WATER DISPENSER We shall discontinue the use of one (1) water dispenser at the Pantry.

Please drink to the last drop.

Activity How To WHY? / Remarks

6 - PANTRY MOTION SENSOR A motion sensor will be installed at the Pantry to make sure that the lights are off when the Pantry is not in use.

Danny San Gabriel has been tasked to handle this.

7 - NATURAL LIGHT USE Blinds on windows shall be rolled-up every morning.

Light Sensors to be part of Long Term Plan.

8 - BATTERY COLLECTION CENTER

Central disposal at HO. To ensure that disposal is done responsibly.

9 - COMPANY VEHICLE UPKEEP / TIRES

All vehicles will be provided with a Tire Gauge and drivers will check daily. Forms are issued.

Green Note: Check your tires – Fully inflated tires can reduce a car’s fuel emission by up to 5%.

Drive slower & smoother. Staying within the speed limit and smoothly accelerating can save up to 25% of a vehicle’s typical gasoline use.

10 - MEETINGS / REPORTS At meetings, reports to be projected instead of printed. If printed, copies should be shared instead of distributed.

Other activities

• Tire gauge – check your tires

properly inflated tires can reduce fuel emissions by up to 5%

• Company vehicle use – drive slower and smoother staying within the speed limit and smoothly accelerating can save up to 25% of a vehicle’s typical gasoline use

• Phone chargers & other equipment - unplug when not in usein the U.S., 95% of the energy used by a phone charger is wasted by being left plugged in

Phase 2

- Slightly DIFFICULT

Reduce Electricity Consumption

• Installation of light sensors• Zoning lights• Use CFLs and LEDs• Ceiling lights for ambiance only• Individual reading lamps in workstations• Centralized “charging” areas – easier to manage /

monitor• Convert all desktop to flat screen monitors – low

energy consumption / green-house gas emission

Waste Management / Recycling

• Centralized reprographics – contain gas emission / centralize waste collections / ensure use of scratch paper

• Buy in bulk – less waste production• Use carpet tiles – rotate

Other activities

• Use “green” supply chain• Car pool / Use company car to shuttle staff• Maintain snacks supply – reduce trips to stores /

reduce use of elevators & escalators

Centralized reprographics area

Use the “green” supply chain

Purchase in bulk

Install light sensor

Use individual reading light

Phase 3
