What is a green office?

A green office is an environmentally friendly place to work. That means that the company's introduced an environmental policy, but more importantly they're making significant changes in the workplace to become more environmentally friendly. For example, a company can undertake an energy audit and a waste audit to see what it's impacts are. Then it can take steps to reduce its energy consumption, to reduce its waste and introduce systems that will save on operational costs and directly benefit the bottom line. Also, there will be intangible benefits to the organization, it's image, it's reputation in the marketplace, and that can mean more business for the company as it's able to benefit from dealing with companies in the environemental marketplace. There will be tenders and contracts that are going to companies that have adopted environmentally friendly practices, so in the long term this could add a great deal of value to the company and staff as well, who will feel the benefit of working in such an envrionment.
