Environmental Issues / LANDSCAPE
Landscape is taking the following approach as a company to environmental issues:
Paperless clerical work space
1. Taking a full advantage of groupware and E-mail.
2. Abolishing all in-house slips except those necessary for sending to the client or the transmittal letter for delivery services.
3. Transmitting faxes directly from the server without printing them out.
4. Requiring that documents and data be exchanged by E-mail with vendors and customers as much as possible.
5. Making hardcopy copies as a personal backup of documentation is prohibited and an on-line system has been provided to permit referencing and retrieval from personal workstations.
Ecology clerical work space
1. Recycling of used envelopes.
2. Abolishing the use of paper cups and requiring all employees to use their own mugs and providing ceramic cups for visitors and guests.
3. Abolishing the use of the hypocritical business card that states it is manufactured using recycled paper. It is much more resource efficient to print out new business card as many as needed on 100% pure papers by card-printer than printing on recycled paper with 100 cards at one time and become obsolete and dumped eventually.
4.Segregating all trash into these categories for collection.
(1) magazine and news papers
(2) combustible paper garbage
(3) noncombustible paper garbage
(4) waste raw garbage
(5) cans
(6) bottles
(7) pet bottle
(8) small complex paper garbage
(9) combustible but confidential paper garbage (to be cut in pieces by shredder regrettably)
5. Managing air-conditioning and lighting by time zone.
6. Designing office space for flexibility and standardizing allocations and assignments, specifications, components, features, and furniture.
7. Reducing the waste by exchanging or remodeling parts of PC CPU etc.
8. Recycling old PC's and OA equipments by transferring to employees or workers at home who could make good use of them.
Approach by business
1. Reducing number of tuck seal type labels and replacing them with the Cheshire type labels.
2. Work exceptionally hard to reduce undeliverable mail and resulting wasted paper - special note: this is one of Landscape's key missions - correcting addresses in its customers' databases by using its data hygiene services and continually updating and correcting its own IDB-based consumer and business addresses.
