We've previously discussed ways to make your office more green on the blog, and green issues and how they relate to business is a recurring area of interest, so we were very excited to hear that this week is Green Office Week.

The best thing about the project is that it is highly practical - offering daily tips on a particular subject - and interactive: there is a Twitter account and a Facebook page for Green Office Week, as well as featured plans from participants.

Another interesting element of the website is the inclusion of some results from a national environment survey targeting office workers, which highlights some worrying trends around of lack of interest or laziness about tackling environmental issues, partly due to a lack of awareness, initiative or power.

In honour of Green Office Week, we thought we would highlight some interesting resources / products that might help your office become greener, but first we'd like to know a bit more about your attitudes to green issues:

 

Does your company have any green initiatives in place?

What would you like to see in place?

What would help your company to become more proactive about green issues?

 

If you're interested in issues around the environment and sustainability in business, here are some inspirational examples: nominees for corporate sustainability innovator of the year.

These nominations highlight the remarkable things that can be achieved by the biggest companies, and perhaps the importance of corporations taking the lead in this way.

 

PS - October 10th 2019: The polls referred to in this article closed more than eight years ago and no longer display.
