Dear Ms. Kaiser,
We, at McCray Inc., have indeed found it a pleasure to work with you and your team for the last two weeks at the Grail Corporation. Environmental friendly practices are now synonymous with competitive advantage and translate into an effective promotional strategy. This report looks at the state of these practices in your organization both practically and culturally.
Results:
Finding 1: The Grail Corporation continues to use office lighting containing high amounts of chemical pollutants in order to save on overhead.
Finding 2: Reuse and recycle policies though in place are not followed both at the company cafeteria and in the work space.
Finding 3: The majority of Grail employees commute to work via personal transportation.
In summary, a few minor policy implementations at the Grail Corporation can assist the organization to become environmentally friendly.
Recommendations:
Recommendation 1: Make use of natural lighting with skylights and larger windows. Make the transition to environment-friendly office lighting equipment. Dispose the existing lighting through safe incineration.
Recommendation 2: Send reminders to employees about reusing and recycling. Make use of signage in the office space and cafeteria. Monthly reports can be made available to check the company's overall progress.
Recommendation 3: Encourage the use of carpools and public transportation. Start a company bus service.
McCray would be more than willing to help Grail Corporation as it seeks to implement these cost-effective and simple recommendations. We are available for any follow-up as might be needed.
Sincerely,
Todd Ventura
Client Solutions Manager
