Research shows employees are more environmentally conscious
06 October 2008
An increasing number of UK workers are lobbying their companies to introduce environmentally friendly practices, research has revealed.
More than half (51 per cent) of 1,027 people surveyed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers said they regularly urged their companies to purchase green IT systems, encourage energy saving and recycling. This is almost double the number of people (27 per cent) who said they did this two years ago.
Meanwhile, 80 per cent of respondents believe they’re more environmentally conscious than three years ago.
Steve Kendall-Smith, UK managing director at Fujitsu Siemens Computers, said: “Our research shows that the gap between how green we are at home and how green we are at work is closing.”
More than one in three (37 per cent) UK employees reduce their daily fuel consumption by lift-sharing with a colleague.
