Descriptions:

Travel for business, whether it's a daily commute or a flight halfway across the globe, adds to an office's environmental impact as well as local traffic conditions. A wide range of commuter benefits tools exist including public transit incentives, carpool incentives, and telecommute programs. Companies should also assess options such as car-share programs for off-site meetings.

Recycling is often mandated by local governments, but it's up individual businesses to set up a program to comply. With the right provider, signage, and employee training, every company can recycle paper, cardboard, commingled containers, and more.

Efficiency covers the use of products such as paper with duplex printing as well as the purchasing and use of computers, copiers, fax machines, etc.

Services & Supplies covers services ranging from caterers to web hosts as well as products used by an office from copy paper to coffee.
