Tips to save water and electricity:

  • One advice to save water would be to choose and install water-saving devices that can be adapted to existing devices.
  • Turn off the light when leaving the office, even for short periods.
  • Close the faucet while I brush my teeth.
  • Try to use more natural light and turn on the lights only when necessary.
  • Turn off electrical appliances … “sumadoras” and others when we are in free time (cafe-lunch-meetings).

The best ideas were rewarded and implemented in the company
