The company has joined together in efforts to make this possible. Employees are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles or cups, as well as dishes and utensils for lunches. Unused lights and appliances are turned off or unplugged. Employees are reminded to power down their computers fully when not in use. Carpooling and alternative modes of transportation are also encouraged.

Hathway Tech is also using their social media to promote their Green month. Polls, surveys and promotional activities involving green tips and trivia are posted daily, as a means to promote awareness to clients and fans.
