- Giving preference to product suppliers who provide and take back reusable packaging and shipping pallets; and provide minimal and recyclable packaging materials.
- Actively choosing supplier relationships which offer as few deliveries as possible.
- All staff printers set on black and white duplex printing by default when printer functions allow it.
