Green services
For many businesses the green message has tended to fall by the wayside since the economic downturn as it is pushed down the priority list.
However this is actually the perfect time to make a commitment to sustainable practices and principles as it can have some very positive effects on your business:
1. Attract new customers
In the B2C market the changing economy and rise of the green movement has caused consumers to consider how businesses take responsibility for their impact on the environment. Likewise, in the B2B market many business tenders are now requiring proof of your green credentials (particularly in the public sector). By implementing environmental practices businesses are finding they are gaining new customers, increasing their revenue and sales, and improving their brand image.
2. Increase efficiency and productivity
Depending on the needs of your business a green review could include cost saving practices such as greener energy, water efficiency and smarter commuting, paper use, event planning and business travel.
3. Reduce operating expense and waste
A sustainable waste management programme is more than recycling - it entails assessment, goal setting, staff education, purchases as well as recycling and waste disposal.

What is carbon neutral?
When a business claims to be 'carbon neutral' it refers to offsetting the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted from all aspects of a particular activity through the purchase of carbon offset credits (one carbon credit os one tonne of carbon).
