Weslo realises that our occupancy of commercial buildings has the potential to be responsible for significant energy consumption, high electricity and water use, if we do not manage wisely. Investing in the efficient operation of buildings is not just good for the environment, but also helps reduce lifecycle-operating costs and improves occupant productivity. Weslo endeavours to:
Similarly, the effective use of technology as an enabler is also a way to automate business processes, as well as improve productivity and environmental performance. Our efforts to date include the decision to install shared printers, use environmentally friendly printer paper, and promote the use of emails and electronic format information. We have implemented re-cycling processes for, paper, printer cartridges and other electronic equipment. We are keen to explore further the need to embed sustainability into our supply chain operations. Whilst the supply chain is relatively minor in the overall operations (with Human Resources a higher priority) looking at the delivery of stock and supply of equipment and services and the organisations delivering these products and services and their practices is open to review.

- Solve building maintenance problems promptly to reduce inefficient use and unnecessary wastage;
- Reduce chemical usage;
- Reduce building operating costs by managing waste production; reducing running costs and energy consumption and maximising use of recycled materials;
- Communicate the benefits and importance of adequate ongoing facility maintenance.
