We realized the damage this causes to the environment at large with increased use of paper, toners, chemicals and other agents that go directly and indirectly into the production of these items for offices. To contribute to this reduction in environmental pollution is necessary. Hence, we cut back severely on printing. Given the nature of our work and the industry domain, this was more easily said than done; yet sustained efforts on our part has got us there.

Electronic Agenda for Company Meetings and Conferences

We don’t print agenda material for all internal meetings including the meetings of Board of Directors, Committee Meetings etc.

Taking our philosophy further, we stopped printing the programme material for our annual event, Magneta, an event which is attended by the leaders of the Private Equity industry. The entire programme material was made available on a landing page and all the delegate had to do was to scan a code displayed on his table. Following this, the programme material and notes was available to him as a download. To put this into perspective, our programme material and notes was around 14 sheets to a single delegate. By using the QR code method, we avoided printing around 800 sheets of paper (assuming two sides printing on a sheet). Isn’t this cool?

Work out the cost of printing 800 sheets of paper in single colour or four colour and most of which has just single use!
