MANAGING MATERIALS Paper Reduction
We are also committed to minimizing our material inputs and maximizing recycling opportunities associated with our operational footprint and service delivery . Because most of the waste created in our offices is paper , we use paper as a proxy for waste reduction . We work with our vendor to track paper purchased in offices and encourage paper-saving behaviors with our employees .
