Options' Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
While acknowledging it is impractical to completely avoid environmentally harmful materials and activities, Options Inc. does recognize the importance of reducing our environmental impact at the corporate level. In many instances, reducing our consumption of resources has an inverse and complimentary impact on our business operations. For these reasons, we are committed to developing and practicing new solutions which demonstrate our environmental stewardship.
Waste Reduction
Our goal is to achieve a paperless office which maximizes the use of portable electronic devices, e-mail and web based applications to facilitate personal interactions both externally and internally. For example, our unique web-based approach allows clients to access their own secure account directly from our website thus eliminating the need for paper-based communication and document management.
Waste Disposal
Our office recycles all waste paper, plastics and printer cartridge. We always ensure that any hazardous waste is disposed of in approved facilities to minimize any negative environmental impact.
Emissions Reduction
Options strives to minimize greenhouse gas emissions by reducing vehicle travel time required to meet with clients. Conference calls and web based communication are promoted to replace short face-to-face meetings. When travel is unavoidable, our consultants are encouraged to car-pool and/or geographically group appointments to maximize efficiencies and reduce emissions.
Options Inc. takes great pride in stimulating continual innovation and demonstrating a willingness to incorporate further initiatives to minimize our environmental impact.
