Over the last three years, we have replaced printers at all of our offices, leading to a progressive reduction in the consumption of paper, ink and energy. All new printers have double-sided printing and two sheets to one page set as the default option, and have a draft quality mode, with the corresponding reduction in ink and paper consumption. They are also energy-efficient qualified, ensuring optimum energy savings.
The latest information technologies also play an important role in reducing paper consumption. All internal communications within Garrigues are sent electronically, and we have a Document Management System that allows documents to be filed and consulted on the network, without the need to print them.
The paper consumed at Garrigues offices comes from virgin fiber. In 2007, we not only managed to maintain the low annual consumption seen in previous years; we bettered 2006 figures by 0.4%. In total, Garrigues has reduced paper consumption per employee by 12.4% since 2004.
