The Tallinn Strategic Management Office has been awarded the title of “green office”!
The Estonian Association of Environmental Management recognized the Tallinn Strategic Management Office with the title of a green office.
Certificates from the European Green Office system are awarded to organizations that have distinguished themselves with environmentally conscious solutions in their workplaces. Currently, there are 57 certified green offices in Estonia. The aim of the European Green Office system is to promote employee health and reduce the environmental impact of offices, helping organizations save costs.
The review of the Tallinn Strategic Management Office’s green office took place on September 28th and covered various environmental activities, compliance with criteria, and an office tour.
