Davenports is not only committed to clients and staff but also the natural environment that surrounds us.

Our St Kilda office is an example of what can be done when management and staff come together to reduce their environmental footprint. Initiatives in reducing our carbon emissions include:

• Signing on to Origin Energy’s GreenPower program, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the development of new renewable energy generation.
• Implementing a paperless office by introducing electronic communications and storage.
• Implementing a recycling scheme. All recyclables – such as plastics, cardboard, paper and aluminium cans – are separated at the source and recycled through a contracting firm.
• Re-designing our lighting and installing energy-efficient lights to reduce energy consumption.
• Regularly consulting with an environmental expert to help identify other improvement opportunities.
• Having our fleet of cars washed using a revolutionary waterless process.

In many cases these initiatives are not only good for the environment, they are also good for our bottom line and for our clients. With topics such as an energy trading scheme on the horizon, you can be sure that Davenports is in touch with environmental issues that can impact small and medium businesses.
