10 years ago we would have agreed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was reserved for tree huggers and Major Multi-National Corporations with PR issues over their actions. Today CSR is more about streamlining business activity to lessen your, be it personal or corporate, impact on the environment.

The good news is that CSR initiatives are no longer an exclusive club reserved for those businesses with multi-million dollar PR budgets. There are many simple-to-implement CSR initiatives businesses of any size can take advantage that not only allow you to do your part for the environment but also realize great cost benefits.

One of the simplest initiatives would be to decrease your reliance and use of paper at the workplace. Becoming "Paper-Less" is not about cutting out all paper in your business. That's not practical right now! It's about getting people in your office to do things a little differently to help reduce your paper usage.

Paper use causes problems for every business - including many of the biggest and most successful companies in Australia and around the world. As a founding member of the Paperless Alliance Redmap has been helping businesses decrease their use of paper for over 14 years.
