Gasan Mamo Insurance has appointed a ‘Green Team’ – 10 members of staff from across the company who will come up with environment-friendly initiatives and oversee commitments taken by employees and management.
Green Team initiatives have kicked off with a waste separation programme within offices and branches.
The team has also been involved in other decisions affecting the company’s carbon footprint. An €175,000 investment has been made to modify air-conditioning systems and recycle suitable water.
Lighting in various departments has been changed to energy-efficient alternatives while toners, electronic equipment and neon tubes are being recycled.
The use of disposable cups in the canteen has been discontinued and has been replaced with glass and china ware.
