Cititec IT Recruitment, a company that information technology (IT) solutions for professionals in the banking industry, announced its new Environmental Management System, part of the company’s efforts to combat the effects of climate change.
The system is expected to reduce Cititec’s waste and carbon emissions as well as improve the levels of recycling practiced in the organization. Stating that the Environmental Management System had already made a positive impact on company’s environmental performance, company officials called it a affirmative first step in the company’s long-term commitment to environmental responsibility.
The new Environmental Management System will have a positive benefit on Cititec’s profit margins as well. Cititec will enjoy cost savings from having less waste, and more efficient use of natural resources.

In a press release, the company said this sort of proactive risk management would provide the added benefit of lower insurance premiums.

Taking responsibility for our waste and emissions is both good for business and good for the environment.”
