In the manufacturing industries the environmentally friendly ways of production have been highlighted in recent times especially due to campaigns of the different environmental organizations, and the public and the industry it self are quite aware of the ecological problems of for example mining industry or IT equipment manufacturing. The attention is less payed to the carbon footprint and the ecological long term effects of the office work and service sector. For example construction specifications for office estates given by the government have been concerning the consuming of energy of the large office buildings only in recent years.
And even less is payed attention to the actual, daily practical working it self and the ways that could be done in more environmentally friendly way. There are many ways to reduce for example the consuming of energy, for example by simply switching off equipment which are not in use and not leaving the lights on in the end of the day. Printing only two sized sheet reduces the consuming of the paper into half. These simple ways can save plain money as well, since the electricity and the paper have their costs.
The whole office work is possible to organize ecologically in a large scale as well, by changing the whole work flow and practices. By choosing the office space from a low-energy house cuts the electricity bill as well along with the carbon footprint. Investing into energy efficient equipment will reduce the electricity bill even further. Moving into a paperless office is easy these days when all the planning, documentation, communication and financial management (In Finnish = taloushallinto ) can be done with the help of the computers. Many software’s supporting the organization such as common calendars, shared documentation spaces or electronic accounting are available as a cloud service which enables home office work and this way reduces the need for the office space.
