ecoBiz Queensland awards Global GreenTag for reducing more of its impact on the environment

At Global GreenTag, we are proud to announce that the business has been awarded a 2-Star ecoBiz Partnership following a 58% reduction in the business's energy intensity, and a 27% reduction in our water intensity, relative to the baseline period at the Global GreenTag headquarters in Brisbane.

Mary-Lou Kelly, co-founder and Managing Director of Global GreenTag International said this week:  "We continue to reduce our footprint in diverse ways and starting with how we use our utilities, I am proud to say that Global GreenTag staff have put in a very conscious effort."

"Our Accountant Gourav Ahuja has been diligently tracking use of the company's toll on water, energy and waste to report to ecoBiz Queensland.  He has been successfully leading the program within Global GreenTag for a few years now and it is fantastic to receive news that we have reduced our loads again in these two important areas."

The cost of general waste removal has slightly increased from 2014 when Global GreenTag first started reporting figures to ecoBiz.  Global GlobalGreenTag's waste measurement figures are sourced via the local Brisbane City Council as a function of rates notices of total bin volume collected from the office each year.  However, says Ms Kelly, Global GreenTag has been active to remedy this situation.

"We have been taking the time to ensure that whatever waste can be re-distributed as recyclable materials, we are onto it,"  says Ms Kelly, adding: "There are some marvellous initiatives in the community, including by manufacturers who are upcycling waste for new materials and products.  We are on the look-out constantly to see how Global GreenTag can improve its waste management."

In the absence of more accurate quantitative tracking, Global GreenTag staff in the last 6 months have created and implemented more 'Best Practice' measures to reduce waste further, connecting with a number of different and easily accessible waste recycling programs.
