24 November 2009 - Eco-Audit sponsored by Roots and Shoots

Austen Morris Associates participates in Roots and Shoots sponsored Office Eco-Audit.

Six students from Tong Ji University visited Austen Morris Associates' headquarters for an Eco-Audit, intended to raise awareness, increase education among staff, and demonstrate the Company's commitment to environmental responsibility. The Eco-Audit assessed power, water, and resource usage in order to gauge Austen Morris Associates overall carbon footprint. Student auditors conducted interviews with more than 30 staff members concerning transportation habits, computer use, and recycling practices.

The volunteers presented Austen Morris with a certificate of participation and tips on how to be more eco-friendly. Staff thoroughly enjoyed the student volunteers' enthusiasm and passion, and are looking forward to implementing the recommendations they were given.
