The Green Team - Alamy UK
Our Green Team was formed in 2007 to challenge all company habits, procedures and priorities in a bid to improve Alamy’s environmental performance. We hold regular meetings and encourage suggestions from employees on ways of saving energy and making better use of raw materials.
Activities so far:
- We use recycling bins for plastic, paper and cans.
- We’ve invested in new printers and photocopiers to allow double-sided printing and introduced centralised printing to encourage employees to use less paper.
- Measuring technology has been installed to allow us to record our energy consumption every half hour.
- We have video conferencing facilities in our offices in the UK, India and the US to reduce as much as possible the need for travel.
Other initiatives in the pipeline include setting up a buy a bike scheme to help employees cycle to work rather than use cars, introducing low energy lighting throughout the office and looking at ways of reducing the number of servers needed to run our business.
