“This donation is the result of Unicom customers switching to email billing rather than receiving a paper bill.” explains Chris Earle, Operations Director, Unicom.
“Unicom customers have been asked to switch to the environmentally friendly email billing system launched in April 2008. We introduction this system to reduces our business costs, for example printing and postage costs, and to reduce our environmental costs, for example paper usage and the environmental impact of transporting bills across the UK.”
“Customers benefit from receiving free fully itemised bills, and because as a business we have made monitory savings we decided to make a donation to the NSPCC. A year after the scheme has launched we feel the time is right to celebrate the anniversary of the introduction of email billing by making our first donation to the NSPCC.”
“We fully intend to continue to encourage customers to switch to email billing, and hope to make an even larger donation in the future.”
