Guide to greening your office
As part of our efforts to encourage our clients to operate their office in environmentally senstive ways we have produced a Guide to Greening Your Office. This is available for you to download free of charge. The guide is also available in hardcopy format, printed, of course, on 100% post consumer recycled paper. To obtain your free copy please e-mail us by clicking on the Guide to Greening Your Office.
Environment
As an office products company we understand the importance of keeping your office supplied with stationery and equipment. However this can often come at a cost to the environment, something we here at COS - are keen to minimise.
Talk to our sister company Natural Power about reducing your CO2 emissions through solar termal, rainwater harvesting, underfloor heating and
heat pumps.
We are fully committed to managing our environmental responsibilities and try to manage our impact. We have recently been awarded Green Dragon
Level 3 environmental accreditation in recognition of this.
