Here at Retail Manager Solutions whilst we don't all wear sandals, drive hybrid vehicles and hug trees we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously.

We conduct our business ever mindful of the impact to the environment, ensuring that our carbon footprint in terms of consumption and emissions are kept to a minimum. We heavily use technology to minimise our impact on the environment and have reduced our estimated carbon footprint to approximately 88 tonnes per year.

We pride ourselves on helping our clients to minimise their impact on the environment. One such example is Peacocks who removed nearly 3,000,000 pieces of paper from their business.

Paper is an important medium for communicating information to stores. There will always be a need for paper documents - just not as many as are currently produced in an average retail operation. The difficulty of knowing which stores have which store fit out and which display options means that promotion and seasonal instructions tend to include all possible permutations - making the package of paper both very bulky and also very complex. Some paper information is simply not effective. Forms that need completion at store - such as special product orders or payroll information - can be completed and filed online or printed on demand at the store, saving the printing and storage of order pads and other multi-part printed documents.

Some more facts:

The Body Shop was able to sell two photocopiers and reduced the paper purchased for store communications by 70% and experienced a number of 'post-free weeks' when no paper has been posted to any of their 320 stores!

New Look saw printing, collation and distribution costs fall by 30% as instantaneous electronic distribution kicked in.

Peacocks internal print, copy and distribution costs have dropped by 70%.
