GREEeeeening has the meaning


It is obvious that the turnover of company depends purely on employee performance. And one more parallel factor that regulates profit is good corporate etiquette (Ce) at the work place.
Etiquette has enormous impact on the development of relations, also impact the working conditions among employees at work place.

If we take one software company as an example, it profits from millions of Dollars gained through out sourcing and other various businesses net workings. And subsequently it has to pay bills to services like building rent, power, water etc, Paying bills to the service is unavoidable yet it can be cut down to minimum by many alternate ways (…so called greener ways..!) in order to save some money for the company. Here money saved is money gained or profit obtained. Thus saved money can be a corpus fund for the company.

Everybody /every employee should feel responsible for this cause and switch to green way as it is the best option in saving expenses at desk. Switching off PC screens, lights, and fans when leaving desk, or at neighbors’ desk in case they fail to do so and fix reminders for such assignments that guide other office staff to follow these measures are some necessary steps to keep on this movement. The company also should seek a way to promote employees for such activities by announcing incentives, or appreciation certificates, awards (to initiate only of course..!). This is the need of the hour and we all should enact and make it happen and gift a clean environment for the next generation.

Some Green ways and means: (you also add greener ways, of course..!)


  1. Seating near the widows doesn’t really need artificial lighting during the day time as they get enough light from outside. (It includes all the places that are periphery to the construction ex: lavatories, store rooms etc,)

  2. Serial lighting inside big hall is also not necessary, some lights can be switched off (alternate lighting is enough for the daily jobs to run...)

  3. Screen savers should be used, use `World Community Grid` screen saver: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/viewLogin.do to help other causes (using internet time for rendering molecules that benefit human beings in a big way etc,)

  4. All other accessory lighting sources should be used whenever/ wherever they are necessary only, and switch them off at the time of leaving the room or conference hall.

  5. Lifts can be utilized effectively. Wait for more time for others to join you in the lift, thus minimizes the consumption of power or best use stairs if you strive for the better health (try one or two floors not in full :-))

  6. Use motor vehicles if only needed, do not use motor vehicles for short distances. Also help colleagues by helping them to reach their places on your way thus reducing the use of fuel and reducing the emission of poisonous gases/pollution.

  7. Promote ideas of effective resource utilization at school level helps us reaching the goal of greener community in no time.

  8. Use paper products and degradable instead of synthetic, plastic and non-degradable ones.

  9. There are many alternate ways to minimize resources utilization if everybody thinks in the green way. So let us grin about Green…. welcome this movement and prove that we are clean and transparent in this regard in order to gift a cleaner ambience for the next generation.

  10. Apply the same at home to save more power, money as it gives you more sustainability.

Best wishes....
