What really goes on in Dentsu Utama.

An email conversation on any day...

Jeremy>
As many of you know, thanks to Sue Yin’s “Turn off your main switches” and “Polystyrene-Free Office Starting Tomorrow” e-mails, Dentsu Utama is now eco-friendly!
And to add to the list of “Green things to do”, we’re also conducting a “No lights lunch time” initiative. Don’t worry, it’ll be only done once a week, on Fridays.
So, from this week onwards, the office will be in the dark during Friday’s lunch time.
If you must work, and REALLY, REALLY, REALLY (You get the idea) need a light, then you may switch on a light. Only one.
First ‘No lights lunch time’: Friday, 11th September 2009. 1pm – 2pm.
Thanks!

Congrats people. I know this mail is a little late, but….. good one on the “No lights lunch time”!

New division launched!

It's been a crazy week at work. The stuff you do every day and should be doing every day, the stuff that brings in the dough and feeds the mouth, the stuff that lifts morale and sparks passion, the stuff that is right for the nature of our business and nature, period.

We've finally got around launching a new division in my employer's company which is called Sustainability & Change Management. While we're not claiming to be the experts, but this certainly seals a serious commitment for Dentsu to move towards a sustainable future. Not just for ourselves, but our clients and the community which surrounds us. IMPORTANT: This is beyond going green. I think the key word is BALANCE. Our world is too extreme which is why our eco-system is tipped and screwed up.

Get wired here and police us ;) We welcome that. Oh by the way, our new batch of namecards is 100% made from recycled paper. How bout that for a start?

Meanwhile, if you're interested to know more. Get in touch.

A very cute mail ;)

A very cute email just arrived in my inbox ;)

Title: We want your rubbish.

Dear all,

Please bear with the mess behind the creative area for a bit more. I’ve contacted the man in charge of the pick-up schedule (Yes, they actually have such position) from Alam Flora. We’re looking at sometime next Monday or Tuesday. It’s a bit painful to get those guys to call back for confirmation but the promise is by early next week!

In the meantime, the Green Buddies could use more of your contribution. *BIG GRIN* If everyone in the office brings a small bag of recyclable rubbish. Imagine how much we can recycle as a group. I’ll spare you the nagging if you would be so inclined to give us your rubbish from your house. Papers, cans, plastics, glasses….send them over this way please.

So, you know the drill: Gather your rubbish and place them accordingly into the bags, dump them into your car, and put them at the Recycle Corner behind the creative area (If you see Erman then you’ll see it) He’s in charge of giving you the right direction. And if ever you need assistance to carry your stuffs, he’d be happy to help you. Hey, anything to help that new daddy to reduce his waistline.

Remember, you have one week to contribute. Thank you in advance for reading this and your kind consideration to recycle.

Don’t be lazy,
The Green Buddies
