2.4 Policy implementation 
‍Business Meetings and Business Travel
Walk and/or use public transport to attend business meetings, site visits, etc, apart from in circumstances where the alternatives are impractical and/or cost prohibitive.

Avoid physically travelling to business meetings where alternatives are available and practical, such as using MS Teams and Zoom, but not to sacrifice the benefit of regular in-person contact with clients.
Be mindful and efficient in the scheduling of meetings to avoid multiple physical travel events.
Invest in technology, tools, and methods to support the delivery of high-quality remote facilitation of our engagements.
‍
Reduce the need for Broadleaf employees to travel by supporting remote working and flexible working, including working from home.

Business resources
Minimise our use of paper and other office consumables by working collaboratively online and identifying opportunities to reduce waste.

Where practical arrange for the reuse or recycling of office waste.
Reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy efficient equipment and good housekeeping.

Purchase fair-trade and/or organic beverages.
