WWF-Philippines encourages energy and waste-saving measures to reduce impact on the environment. Reduction, re-use and recycling are the key to our working practices – make them yours, too.

✔️ Getting to Work

• Use public transport, cycle or walk rather than using a car.
• If you drive, find out if colleagues live near you or on your route and share lifts.

✔️ Company Policy

• If your company has an established environmental policy, consider applying for formal accreditation to an environmental management standard.
• Find out whether your place of work uses "green" or renewable energy. If not, encourage it to change.
• Switch off lights in meeting rooms and turn off computers and electrical appliances when they are not being used.
• Set the office air conditioner units to 24-25°C. Many offices set their air conditioner thermostats too low, forcing people to wear jackets. Turn it up to optimize power use and comfort.
• Find out whether your company uses recycled paper, and if not, encourage it to change.
• Encourage your company to invest ethically, but ensure that professional advice is taken first.

✔️ Personal Policy

• Print on both sides of the paper
• Use e-mail where appropriate, rather than faxing or writing
• Re-use envelopes
• Recycle paper after use
• Avoid overcharging your gadgets
