Ways Going Green Benefits Businesses

1. Enhanced brand image and increased competitive advantage

According to some consumer research, many consumers these days are more likely to buy a company’s products or services when they know that the organization is mindful of its impact on society and the environment. Research also shows that consumers are willing to spend up to more on environmentally sound products and services.

2. Increased productivity and reduced costs

Many companies have experienced greater operational efficiencies after implementing more sustainable business practices. It makes sense when you consider that better conservation and use of resources results in a more streamlined operation and decreased costs.

3. Better financial and investment opportunities

Financial and investment analysts recognize that sustainability plans for energy efficiency and reduction of environmental impact are an important company evaluator criterion.

4. Healthier work environment for employees

Choosing more sustainable products have the added advantage of not only being planet-friendly but peoplefriendly, too. Eco-friendly cleaning products, for instance, which are plantbased and 100% biodegradable, contain no hazardous artificial chemicals. This means they’re significantly less likely to be detrimental to the health of your (maintenance) employees, resulting in happier, healthier staff.
