What is Green Office?
Understanding comes first — a Green Office starts with how we think.
Understand what Green Office means and how everyday office behaviour connects to environmental impact and greenhouse gas.
Why it matters
Green Office is not only the team's responsibility — it is shared everyday behaviour. The energy we use, the paper we print, the water we run, the waste we throw, and the way we travel all affect our resources, costs, and greenhouse gas.
Understanding this connection is where everything starts. When we know which behaviours create impact, we can make the right choices in daily work. Greenhouse gas is a cross-cutting issue that links every practice — energy, water, paper, waste and mobility alike.

Fact
What is a Green Office
An office that uses resources and energy wisely, manages waste effectively, procures environmentally friendly products, and keeps greenhouse gas emissions low.
Explain
GHG cuts across every practice
Greenhouse gas is not a single number — it comes from energy, water, paper, waste and travel combined. Reducing in every area lowers the overall footprint.
