When a company is making an effort to move toward sustainability, they want to have proof of their intent. Managed print services can quickly provide this. The United States has businesses that use trillions of pieces of paper every year. This means that more than 1 billion trees are cut down to make this happen. These trees remove tons of carbon dioxide from the air every year. Therefore, there needs to be a movement to protect these trees. Managed print services can stop the madness of cutting down trees. When companies move to managed print services, they are going to use less paper because managed print services are going to make this process more efficient. Therefore, trees are saved.

The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and crucial to the achievement of its long-term goals, embodying efforts by each country that support an integrated approach to sustainability. Traditionally, the green building movement focused on operational energy use, efficiency and primarily environmental concerns. However, the scope and breadth of this sustainability ambition has dramatically expanded. It now encompasses the diversity of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, to be considered across all stages of the building and construction lifecycle, plus the communities and infrastructure that serve our buildings, and the built assets themselves.
