Corporate Sustainability – Practicing what we Teach
Sustainability is an attempt to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future. The world wide population boom and increasing understanding of the global impacts of human activities has forced our communities to closely examine their resource use. In keeping with our goal of being a leader in the environmental management field, E2 ManageTech (E2 ) has developed and implemented an in-house Corporate Sustainability Plan that acts as a guiding light in our continuous effort to improve our efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts of our operations.
Goals
Save resources and reduce operational environmental impacts
Reduce operating costs and pass these savings onto our clients
Solidify E2 ’s role as a leader in environmental management
Benefits to Our Clients
E2 ’s focus on sustainability and efficiency means clients receive deliverables using the minimum amount of resources. This reduces our internal costs, which in turn, reduces our rates for our clients. E2 considers Sustainability a high priority. We believe that it is also important to remember that the pursuit of Sustainability should never compromise the quality of the products and services that we provide to our clients.
Methods
E2 is proud to operate in a sustainable and efficient manner. E2 makes all deliverables available to our clients in electronic format. The result is drastically reduced paper usage, production time, and delivery costs. When paper copies are required, E2 documents are produced using double-sided printing and recycled paper.
E2 employees work a “9-80” work schedule, logging 80 work hours in 9 days instead of the standard 10. This schedule reduces company transportation by 10 percent, thus reducing the amount of automobile-related air pollution and traffic congestion in our communities. Additionally, many of our employees work “virtually” either full-time or part time, thus further reducing commuting related impacts.
E2 makes a concerted effort to recycle all materials that move through our offices. The recycling includes aluminum, glass, paper, ink cartridges, and cardboard. These recycling efforts reduce the amount of natural resources that must be harvested and the energy and chemicals that are needed to turn virgin raw materials into usable products.
E2 chooses to rent office space in buildings with important resource conservation features such as motion sensing Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems and building-wide recycling programs.
