Remi Cares

Green Initiative

The Remi Group recognizes that we have a responsibility to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint. Therefore, we actively seek to incorporate sustainable green practices into our program offering. The Remi Group identifies vendors that offer environmentally preferred products and services and makes them available to our clients. Whenever possible we encourage the use of remanufactured ink, toner cartridges, and recycled paper products. Our program promotes the reduction of overall paper usage by requesting that all service vendors and suppliers remit their invoices via email as opposed to hardcopy.
