Environmentally friendly practices are those that help to ensure and promote a healthy and clean environment. In accordance with this approach, Mthente has instituted a “green” policy, which starts with the basics and extends to decisions regarding procurements and other company practices. These include:

• Turning off equipment when it is not being used and turning off computers at the end of each day.
• Printing double-sided documents and re-using scrap paper whenever possible.
• Finding a supply of paper with maximum available recycled content.
• Being as tree-friendly as possible with minimum amounts of printing and paper wastage.
• Being more energy conservative – minimising office lighting and the use of appliances.
• Procuring from other “green” companies.
• Considering the effects of products and services on the environment over their whole lifecycle.
