Activity How ToWHY? / Remarks 6 - PANTRY MOTION SENSORA motion sensor will be installed at the Pantry to make sure that the lights are off when the Pantry is not in use. Danny San Gabriel has been tasked to handle this. 7 - NATURAL LIGHT USEBlinds on windows shall be rolled-up every morning. Light Sensors to be part of Long Term Plan. 8 - BATTERY COLLECTION CENTER Central disposal at HO.To ensure that disposal is done responsibly. 9 - COMPANY VEHICLE UPKEEP / TIRES All vehicles will be provided with a Tire Gauge and drivers will check daily. Forms are issued. Green Note: Check your tires – Fully inflated tires can reduce a car ’ s fuel emission by up to 5%. Drive slower & smoother. Staying within the speed limit and smoothly accelerating can save up to 25% of a vehicle ’ s typical gasoline use. 10 - MEETINGS / REPORTSAt meetings, reports to be projected instead of printed.

Other activities Tire gauge – check your tires properly inflated tires can reduce fuel emissions by up to 5% Company vehicle use – drive slower and smoother staying within the speed limit and smoothly accelerating can save up to 25% of a vehicle’s typical gasoline use Phone chargers & other equipment - unplug when not in use in the U.S., 95% of the energy used by a phone charger is wasted by being left plugged in

Phase 2 - Slightly DIFFICULT
22
Reduce Electricity Consumption Installation of light sensors Zoning lights Use CFLs and LEDs Ceiling lights for ambiance only Individual reading lamps in workstations Centralized “charging” areas – easier to manage / monitor Convert all desktop to flat screen monitors – low energy consumption / green-house gas emission
23
Waste Management / Recycling Centralized reprographics – contain gas emission / centralize waste collections / ensure use of scratch paper Buy in bulk – less waste production Use carpet tiles – rotate
24
Other activities Use “green” supply chain Car pool / Use company car to shuttle staff Maintain snacks supply – reduce trips to stores / reduce use of elevators & escalators
