Corporate Social Responsiblity (CSR) is big news, and big business, for organisations around the world. With global warming issues on the rise and fuel supplies falling, companies are having to look closely at what they can do to offset the impact they are having on our planet.
But this concern is not just for huge organisations that need to meet the needs of their stakeholders, nor those that use their CSR policies and green credentials to sustain a competitive advantage, everyone needs to get involved in order to really make a diffrerence.
With this in mind, all employees of Playgroup were recently asked what they thought Playgroup's CSR Policies should include. After a good deal of thought and ruling out the impossible, the irrelevant and the downright stupid my choice was to only print on environmentally friendly paper preferably using environmentally friendly printers and inks.
This would lead us to have less choice of paper stocks, printers and inks and possibly increased costs (however environmentally printers are generally very price competitive as they have to be to remain in the market) but we would be doing our bit to reduce the impact we, and our clients, are having on the environment.
So would Playgroup going green be good or bad?
