Save Money

Any business needs to manage its costs and find ways to reduce them. A paper saving initiative can not only save your business money, but make it more efficient. We have all been to meetings where handouts are given out, and then never looked at again. Why not put them on a network drive or your intranet?

By looking at how paper moves about your business you may spot inefficiencies that need to be corrected. Maybe you send out a paper copy of a report, and people then type it into their systems. By integrating these systems you save both paper and people's time.

By getting buy-in throughout your business you can soon begin to tackle just why you are using so much paper. The team who buys your paper should be able to tell you how much was purchased for a period. Also a paper count is available from most printers nowadays. These two quick steps will allow you to set your baseline of current usage, and targets for future use.

The paperless office is not around the corner, but a 10% reduction is well within the range for any business.
