Technopolis Ülemiste Receives Green Office Label

TECHNOPOLIS PLC      PRESS RELEASE         February 1, 2013 at 10.00 a.m.


Technopolis Ülemiste Receives Green Office Label

Technopolis Ülemiste in Tallinn is the first Technopolis office outside Finland
to receive the Green Office label granted by WWF Finland. All Technopolis’ own
offices in Finland have already received the label. Green Office is an
environmental label for offices, with the aim of decreasing their CO2 emissions
and ecological footprint. Including the Ülemiste office, Technopolis now has
ten labeled offices. 

“To get the Green Office label, the Ülemiste office generated a Green Office
team, agreed on environmental principles, and prepared an initial assessment
and a detailed environmental plan,” says Technopolis’ Environmental &
Sustainability Manager Virve Riihonen. “The Ülemiste office is very active in
green issues. For example, the office improved its waste management, paid
attention to saving energy, purchased a CO2 monitoring device, and defined
three environmental indicators to be reported annually.” 

According to estimates, Technopolis’ Green Offices altogether have the
possibility to save as much as 100,000 euros annually, e.g. by using
double-sided printing. The environmental plans of all our own Green Offices
also support the management of energy consumption and the amount of waste
generated. This helps to save on maintenance costs. Green Office projects have
been part of Technopolis’ environmental strategy for 2011–2015. Technopolis
will also try to develop its services to be greener to support its customers in
achieving their green labels and certificates.
