Telecom specialist Elite Telecom has set itself a goal of saving one million sheets of paper a year with the launch of a new “greener business” billing strategy.
Having doubled its turnover in the past year, the number of Elite customers receiving bills has actually trebled and so, recognising the impact that using paper has on the environment, the company has introduced paperless E-billing to help it reach its ‘Make it a million’ target.
Managing Director Matt Newing says: “We are delighted to have increased our customer base so significantly, but when we sat down and worked out how much paper this involved we wanted to make sure that we could minimise waste and be environmentally responsible which is why we are aiming to ‘Make it a million’ in terms of our saved paper total.
“We believe we can save at least 88,000 sheets each month and we are also introducing other paper-saving policies in our offices here and in Spain.”
Elite has extended its environmental strategy to its corporate newsletter, switching to recycled paper and a chemical-free printing process in the short term, with a planned e-newsletter available soon.
Matt Newing adds: “We are a business that is determined to reduce waste, re-use and recycle whenever possible and ‘Make it a million’ is helping us to put our principles into practice.” |
