Impact
 

We are a small company and our impact can be huge for both clients and the environment. We take steps to reduce our impact on our surroundings. We email invoices, reports, press releases and images 99% of the time, thereby reducing paper usage and hopefully saving a few trees along the way. Though our associates work in Abu Dhabi, California, New York, our vendors are located in our neighborhoods, therby reducing travel and saving gas. The internet is a wonderful thing and has enabled us to reduce our paper usage. Five years ago a small agency would use more than a ream of paper a week (500 sheets). We use less than a ream a quarter. We are always looking for news ways to save, so please share your ideas and tips!
