Tips On Implementing A Green Program
The following factors are essential for the long-term success of any green initiative:
The basics
- Get senior-level commitment for organizational buy-in and support
- Make the impact measurable (to indicate the offset of CO2 emissions, cost reductions, increased productivity, and improved employee work/life quality)
- Make the implementation easy
- Provide effective internal communication for sustainable, ongoing adoption
Other basic improvements to consider include:
- Buying only recycled-content paper
- Copying or printing double-sided – or on multiple slides – of a page
- Cleaning with less toxic products
- Using efficient lighting systems to save energy
- Conserving water with low-flow toilets and faucet aerators
Any serious, corporate environmental policy should:
- Be recognized as an environmental – and industry – leader
- Strengthen corporate bottom lines through operating efficiencies
- Improve employee morale and the health of the workplace
- Provide an attractive incentive to potential employees
Bottom line results should:
- Save energy costs
- Enhance public opinion: Customers and opinion formers are increasingly taking an interest in how companies conduct their businesses in relation to climate change.
- Protect share price: Corporate responsibility is increasingly scrutinized by investors.
- Attract investors: Investors and analysts recognize that carbon emissions represent a real business cost, yet they are viewing such costs as a long-term investment with significant long-term value.
- Drive revenue: Companies with a public commitment to ethics have been tracked to perform better on three of four financial measures than those with no commitment – and they enjoy up to 18 percent higher profits.
- Increase productivity
