"Green" has so many definitions.....most having very positive inference! "Green" with envy, rolling in the "Green", driving for the "Green", and of course, living and working "Green".
Wouldn't it be great if your organization could embrace and create a living, working environmentally ("Green") friendly culture and effort? Think about the implications!
- Competitors might be green with envy
- Your organization can be rolling in more green as clients and prospects are likely to choose you over the competition (79+% of consumers in a recent study said they would change to a brand that was associated with a good cause, charity or awareness campaign)
- Your organization would be having a greater positive (green) impact on the environment,
- And of course, you can and should be proud to promote your green efforts.
So what can you do to achieve this? Everything from; switching to energy efficient light bulbs and implementing paper, plastic, aluminum and electronic recycling, to switching to stationery, business cards, packaging and writing instruments all made from recycled materials, transitioning to corporate apparel made from organic cotton, sustainable materials such as bamboo (an amazing fabric!), and so much more! Take it a step further and encourage your staff to make the same choices in their personal lives.
Making these efforts has the ability translate into public recognition (some of it even free), increased market share by supporting a good cause, creating goodwill amongst clients and staff, having a positive impact on the environment and if that weren't enough ~ of course it often saves or makes you more money than it costs to implement.
We're proud to promote this opportunity to the business community and put our money where our mouth is in having implemented many of these efforts within our own organization. And, we took our recycling one step further and donate the redemption funds to our local elementary school and scouting councils.
