LaborLawCenter™ is Committed to an Eco-Friendly Workplace
At
the LaborLawCenter™, we are committed to maintaining and operating an
eco-friendly workplace. We realize that when we conduct business in
an environmentally responsible manner, we contribute to preserving the
environment for future generations. With our daily workflow and processes,
we routinely evaluate potential areas of inefficiency and waste, so
we can make continual strides towards environmental responsibility.
We are in the business of making sure that other businesses achieve their
compliance requirements. As with many other businesses, our daily operations
require a substantial volume of paper, printing, and shipping resources
so that we can deliver what our customers need in a timely and expedited
manner. For this reason, we believe that operating an eco-friendly workplace
is a top priority – one that we strongly encourage both internally,
as well as externally with our customers, partners, and suppliers.
Some of the methods we use to limit energy and resource consumption include:
- Utilizing eco-friendly paper, ink cartridges, light bulbs, and other materials throughout the office so we can conserve resources and minimize waste
- Developing customized compliance products and services that are digital-based, and do not require the use of printing, laminating, or shipping resources
- Working collectively as a team so that all employees take an active role in reducing, recycling, and re-using workplace supplies and materials whenever possible
- Informing our customers, partners, and suppliers of our commitment to eco-friendly standards, while encourage them to take an active involvement in green conservation methods
We realize that every effort counts when it comes to creating a more
energy-efficient workplace. Internally, we work as a team to encourage
and instill a culture of energy-efficient practices and resource conservation.
Whether it means reminding a peer to shut down his or her computer,
or volunteering to route recyclables to the closest recycling center
– we all do our part to maintain an environmentally-responsible
working environment.
Does Your Company Work Green?
We are also committed to helping our customers, partners, and suppliers
achieve eco-friendly standards. For your convenience, we offer a free
Top 10 Ways Your Company Can Go Green Poster. This poster is designed
to help you remind your employees of the best ways to conserve energy
and resources while at work. Some of these ways include:
Internal Recycling Program
1. Make it a priority to recycle all paper, plastic, and other recyclable
materials by placing them in recycling bins located throughout the office.
Designate one employee who will be responsible for collecting and routing
the office recyclables to the local recycling center as needed.
2. Make sure to recycle all empty ink cartridges, toners, print heads,
etc., through cartridge recycling programs offered by ink companies
and suppliers.
Shipping Materials
3. When shipping products or materials through the mail, you use recycled
shipping and packaging materials whenever possible.
Using Recycling Print-Related Materials
4. Make it a priority to purchase printing cartridges that are made
from previously recycled materials.
5. Use recycled paper for all office purposes and to print posters.
Stretch paper resources farther by printing on both sides of the paper.
Office Water Supply
6. Make filtered water dispensers available to all employees so it
is not necessary to drink from plastic water bottles. Also make plastic
water containers or mugs available, instead of Styrofoam cups.
Energy Efficiency
7. Make it a priority to turn off all computers, lights and other equipment
are turned off when not in use, or when it is not necessary to use.
8. Purchase energy-efficient equipment and light bulbs for use throughout
the workplace.
Alternative Transportation

from work whenever possible, such as taking the bus, riding a bike,
or walking to work.
10. Initiate internal carpool schedules so employees can carpool with
each other whenever possible.
