5 Reasons why your business needs to go green

The need for businesses to adopt more sustainable working practices has never been more important. And in the years to come, ‘greener’ working will play an ever-increasing role in industry developments and decision-making.

Reasons employers need to make the change to sustainable working and reduce their carbon footprint:

Customer choice – More and more consumers are actively making a choice about ‘buying green’ and supporting businesses who share their sustainability ethos

Business sense – Businesses are actively choosing suppliers with a low carbon policy with whom to trade, to ensure their own green credentials

Community impact – You are leading the way in your locality, providing a great example for others to follow

Workforce retention/recruitment – The new generation of employees are more aware of global issues than ever before and are selecting to work for employers who match their expectations

Global mission – You are part of something much bigger – a global recognition that we cannot continue to waste the Earth’s valuable resources any longer and pollute our atmosphere
