Government agencies can make significant progress toward
achieving their sustainability goals and budget objectives by
re-examining core functions and processes within their
organizations that involve mail, print and document-related
services, according to a white paper now available from Pitney
Bowes Government Solutions, Inc. (PBGS), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI).
The white paper, “Greening Government Services,” uncovers
three key areas that every government agency can focus on when
addressing sustainability issues: reducing energy consumption,
reducing waste, and improving productivity. It also recommends some
immediate steps agencies can take to begin the process of
“greening” their activities, including:
- Creating a roadmap for
successful green initiatives
- Measuring their current
situation
- Taking advantage of low-hanging
fruit
- Utilizing available tools
“The challenge agencies face in meeting their sustainability
goals is substantial, but necessary to protect the environment and
curb government spending,” said Jon Love, president, PBGS.
Love noted that, once agencies take the initial steps toward
greening their activities, there are additional activities they can
implement to help make their sustainability goals more attainable,
such as:
- getting help with mail
services;
- optimizing carrier routes and
delivery schedules;
- combining like operations;
- outsourcing mail, print and
document-related services to a multi-client facility;
- reducing unnecessary physical
document requirements;
- re-visiting telecommuting
opportunities.
“These steps may require a bit more time and resources, but can
assist – along with a commitment to energy reduction, recycling and
related activities – in creating sustainable programs that have a
lasting, positive impact on both government and the environment,”
Love added.
Pitney Bowes Government Solutions designs, implements and
operates solutions that provide government agencies with critical
mail, communication, document, records management and logistics
services to efficiently meet constituent needs and help satisfy
legislative mandates.
