Green Solutions

Electronic document management reduces both paper consumption and CO2 emissions. This technology, which replaces paper-based processes with electronic procedures, eliminates the printing, posting and manual filing of paper documents. Directly from a company's accounting/ERP system and with just a few clicks of the mouse, this ‘paperless office' technology enables business documents, such as invoices and statements, to be automatically created, delivered, archived and retrieved.

By dramatically reducing the amount of paper a business uses, more trees are saved from destruction. Even when sustainable tree planting ensures a sapling is planted every time a tree is destroyed, this is not as beneficial to the environment as allowing trees to grow to full maturity. Each tree locks-in approximately one tonne of carbon during its lifetime and so by saving more trees, greater amounts of carbon are being naturally sequestered from the atmosphere.

Using less paper also has knock-on effects throughout the supply chain. For instance, carbon is emitted during the manufacture of stationery, by vans/lorries during paper transportation and by electricity whilst storing the paper. Eliminating document printing also removes carbon emissions during the printing process and during the manufacture of toner cartridges.
