Switching to a cloudbased/ share drive option can reduce the use of paper and cut the purchase substantially per year.Although not a major proportion of its monthly spending, utility cost still represent a significant proportion of expenses. Clement Shield has cut utility costs by changing all light fixtures to energyefficient rated fixtures with LED light bulbs.
