Although the issues of sustainability and eco-efficiency are on the agenda of organizations, many managers face difficulties in adopting eco-efficient practices on behalf of employees' disbelief. This article conducted a pioneering empirical research and discover the Ecofont contributes significantly to the economy of resources (natural and material) and also reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. We chose the Municipality of Belo Horizonte as the case of study because the organization is responsible for a significant volume of printing documents. We used primary data, calculations and testing software like Word 2003 and APFill.
