SI organised a Green Office Week in VK:a, Architecture, VK:e Environmental and VK:i Interiors from 18 to 22 Nov 2013. Through various activities during this week, the employees were made aware about the right ways of use of appliances to save electrical power, water and fuel. The intention was to attempt to inculcate habit of minor but important things like turning off/unplugging unwanted appliances, efficient use of air conditioners, reducing waste, recycling of waste paper, etc. On one of the weekdays employees were encouraged to travel by public transport/car pool/ cycle or walk to office.
Record books were maintained to help quantify the savings at the end of the week. Each day of this Green Office week focused on one area for training the employees: Energy, Water, Transport, Waste and on the last day a feedback was taken on the week’s activities.
