Environmental Responsibility

recycle_paper

 

The insurance industry has always been responsible for consuming large amounts of paper waste. From applications, preparing quotes, detailed coverage manuals; all contribute to our carbon footprint. At Holehouse Insurance we care about the environment and the impact that even small changes can make on the environment. We are in the process of going paperless.  We feel strongly that everyone can make an environmental difference and we have taken the steps to become one of the first insurance agency to become “green.”

The majority of quotes and applications are now emailed; our office has incorporated e-faxing capabilities. Our sophisticated CRM (Customer Resource Management) system has allowed us to become more efficient and provide accurate lowest quotes for you all while reducing our dependencies on traditional paper methods.

We have over 100 years of combined experience in the insurance industry; making our agents the most knowledgeable and our staff the most professional. Come visit our new office and find out just how friendly and attentive our staff is to your individual needs.

Why Recycle?

Recycling delivers significant environmental benefits through avoided use of virgin materials and reduced energy use in production of the required materials.
recycle
One tonne of paper recycled saves:
• Around 13 trees
• 2.5 barrels of oil
• 4100 kWh of electricity (it takes 70% less energy to produce paper from recycled paper than from trees)
• 4 cubic metres of landfill
• 31,780 litres of water
Every tonne of paper that goes to landfill produces leacheate which contaminates the groundwater and produces methane gas which has a greenhouse warming potential 21 times higher than carbon dioxide.
