People working from offices to rent in Edinburgh may want to follow the advice of one expert and adopt an environmental agenda to attract and retain young staff.
Chair of the British Council for Offices' Environmental Sustainability Group Paul Edwards explained businesses need to adapt to the beliefs of a new generation of environmentally-concious employees.
Expenditure such as landfill tax and rising energy costs should also encourage companies to promote a green agenda, as it directly impacts their bottom line, he continued.
Mr Edwards explained younger people have a greater awareness of environmental issues and take them seriously, concluding: "To attract talent and retain talent, companies are seeing a need to deliver on the environmental promise."
As part of Green Office Week, supply company Avery asked staff about their workplace's environmental credentials.
Almost half (47 per cent) noticed their office had become greener over the recent economic situation, with a larger focus on recycling and energy efficiency while 57 per cent believe greener offices could save money.
