We at SWISSLOGIC feel strongly about doing our part to minimize the stress we put on the Earth. We are proactively working towards reducing our reliance on non-sustainable energy sources and increasing local and global awareness about the state of our environment.

We strive to operate our practices and those of our business partners in an environmentally sound manner. Just as we advocate best practices in web development, we continuously aim to increase the efficiency of our ecologically-friendly solutions. Ultimately, the goal of SWISSLOGIC is to minimize the use of energy we don't really need to offset the use of energy in more productive needed areas thus working in greater harmony with our environment.

Purpose

"Green" initiatives in the profit-making world (i.e., the business world) is unromantic and that's okay. SWISSLOGIC understands if working in a more harmonious way with nature is regarded as nothing more than a business tool. We are a business and we work with other businesses to make money. If we can help you make money AND help the environment, we have created a positive for everyone.

Benefits:

Theoretically, there's no better benefit than the positive effect we'll collectively have on the world around us however in the business world, it needs to positively affect your bottom line as well.

The business case is not that "green" simply saves money on energy but that "green" is attractive to the more affluent shopper and high-end clientele. Governments love "green" and so does the media. "Green" attracts free publicity and creates hooks for selling new products, materials and systems. Operating "green"-ish is a whole new commercial ecosystem and SWISSLOGIC is providing the benefits. The following are some of the additional benefits we enjoy as a direct result of our "green" efforts:

• Additional marketing and publicity angles
• Reduced operating costs
• Greater productivity
• Healthier work environment
• Increased awareness

• Wherever possible, replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent or LED
• Adjust office temperatures utilizing the sun's natural energy to offset the use of central heating and A/C
• Establish guidelines for general electricity usage (including, but not limited to computers, printers, monitors and lighting)
• Establish a recycling program and reuse paper when possible
• Eliminate disposable [coffee] cups in favor of ceramic mugs or branded company mugs (we can supply these for your company)
• Eliminate the use of plastic shopping bags whenever possible
• Purchase recycled products and / or products with minimal packaging from local vendors
• Continue your education and spread awareness to your friends and family...
