Andy - good points! Just to say that all of our paper is 100% recycled - except for colour paper, which has to be 100% FSC certified. This in line with the finance policy, which states
> "We shall endeavour to source local, environmentally friendly and > sustainable suppliers where this is possible and does not conflict with > another priority" Completely agree though that we should try and keep paper copies to a minimum.
