Απλες, μικρές λύσεις για να "πρασινίσετε" το γραφείο σας.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια όλο και περισσότεροι άνθρωποι στρέφονται προς ένα διαφορετικό τρόπο ζωής, πιο φιλικό προς το περιβάλλον. Βέβαια, ο άνθρωπος ποτέ δεν ζούσε σε αρμονία με τη φύση, πάντα βρισκόταν στην αντίθετη πλευρά. Η ανθρωπότητα μπόρεσε να αναπτυχτεί αξιοποιώντας τους φυσικούς πόρους της Γης. Διαμορφώστε μια πράσινη ομάδα με τους ομοϊδεάτες συναδέλφους σας, και [...]

Είναι πολλες οι επιχειρήσεις που ενώ θα ήθελαν να ακολουθήσουν «πράσινες» πολιτικές και πρακτικές, δεν έχουν τα αναμενόμενα αποτελέσματα γιατί η επιτυχία των προγραμμάτων τους εξαρτάται σε ένα μεγάλο βαθμό από τις πολιτικές των επιχειρήσεων με τις οποίες συνεργάζονται.
