Kingdom of Bahrain, 9th July 2009: Royal Sun Alliance (RSA) has entered into an agreement with Recycling for Charity for a paper recycling initiative, which is a part of their ongoing CSR campaign. Building on its commitment to responsible recycling, Royal Sun Alliance will utilise the services of Recycling for Charity to help them recycle all the paper consumed in its offices and reducing its ecological footprint.
RSA is one of the world’s leading multinational quoted insurance groups, and has been involved in the past in encouraging staff members to be conscientiously aware of the environment, with initiatives such as switching off laptops and computers and turning off the printer and lights after use. This partnership with Recycling for Charity will help RSA to take simple steps to reuse, reduce and recycle paper, which will not only improve the company’s environmental record but will also improve the bottom line and help in enhancing the overall efficiency of the business.
Everyone should incorporate environmental thinking into their professional lives by doing simple things like saving paper by only printing what you really need, printing double sided so less paper is wasted, re-using scrap paper for notes and editing documents on the computer rather than printing hard copies.
Quote from RSA spokesperson
Recycling for Charity has provided custom-made internationally approved recycling containers for RSA Bahrain where recyclable paper can be deposited. These will be emptied regularly and transported to the recycling factory in Sitra. For every tonne collected Recycling for Charity will donate to local charity organisations.
Mr. Boris Uhlig, Chief Executive Officer, Recycling for Charity, said, “Recycling is an important step forward for companies who aspire to become environmentally-friendly as a move towards creating a sustainable society and healing the damage caused by the overuse of perishable resources.”
Paper is one of the easiest materials to recycle which also has many environmental benefits. Recycling a tonne of paper can save around 7 trees, approximately 30,000 to 60,000 litres of water, 40% of energy and 95% of air pollution.
