CARE service provider Agincare has boosted its green credentials by appointing an 'environmental champion'.

One of Grace Williams's key roles as commercial assistant is to make sure that the Dorset-based firm minimises its impact on the environment by reducing its 'carbon footprint'.

She is working closely with Dialstat, which handles Agincare's office supplies, to be as 'green-friendly' as possible.

Initiatives include cutting deliveries of office supplies to just one a month to each of Agincare's 27 offices, and recycling office consumables such as toner cartridges. Grace said: "It's essential in today's environment of rising energy prices and high emissions that all companies try to reduce, re-use and recycle as much as possible".
