Introduction

Description

Eco-Office links local high school and university R&S student groups with companies to perform an environmental audit to evaluate the company’s current policies and practices and calculate the office’s environmental impact. Time is spent with the staff to emphasize rethinking office practices to reduce negative environmental impact. Participation in the Eco-Office Program is free of charge and can be completed in less than two hours. The program is generously sponsored by BHP Billiton, FedEx and technically supported by ERM.
