to staff who purchase Translink annual bus travel cards outside the TaxSmart scheme. Recycling The BSO recycles all possible waste in relation to: Tins Plastic Non confidential paper waste Cardboard HRPTS/e-Procurement The BSO introduced new systems to handle our HR, Payroll, Travel, Finance and Procurement needs. These new systems involve the scanning of documents which are then sent electronically for approval. This reduces, and in many cases, eliminates the need for the printing, enveloping and posting of documents, therefore reducing the amount of paper/consumables used and negating the requirement for transporting and posting which will have a knock on effect on carbon emissions. Printing The BSO procured and facilitated the introduction of the Xerox Multi-functional devices. The fleet encompasses energy efficient models which enter sleep mode when not in use and additionally reduce our carbon footprint by using less machines and more efficiently, which at present has realised 37% in savings on our printing costs. The BSO has set double sided printing as default to reduce the amount of the printed pages which in turn, reduces the amount of paper required and ordered.
