So you’ve decided to reduce your environmental footprint. What does this mean? Cutting down on waste, going carbon neutral, technological innovation, a revolution of office practice? Recycled paper, energy efficiency… The possibilities are as endless as the imagination.
Here are some initial tips to get the creative juices flowing:
1. Take your business carbon neutral – there are many ways to certifiably offset your carbon footprint through investing in not-for-profit carbon trading schemes. There’s room for all sorts of “neutralising” activities. Your office, your marketing campaigns, your corporate cars, your flights, your events – every activity of your business leaves a “carbon footprint” – why not consider helping to erase your steps.
2. Be environmentally savvy – recycle paper, printer toner, use water wisely, print double sided pages, be water wise, turn off office equipment. Stop using plastic bags, stop printing emails. Increased efficiency isn’t just good for the environment – it’s good for your bottom line. Reducing your use of energy and other consumables will cut down your operating costs.
3. Encourage others to follow in your footsteps – environmental awareness is important. Your business can be an example to clients, partners, supporters – get the message out there. Make the eco-message the pillar of your marketing activities.
