3 Essential Green Business Practices

It’s no secret that virtually the entire world is beginning to shift towards a more eco-friendly consciousness than what was the norm in the past. As natural resources begin to dwindle, people throughout the world are finding ways to live and work in a more “green” manner; that is, eliminating as much waste as possible. Businesses can learn quite a bit from thinking in a more green manner, as there are a variety of different ways for one to make their business a bit more ecologically friendly. Consider the following 3 essential green business practices, all of which can be implemented without having to spend a fortune.

Allow Employees to Work From Home

Telecommuting is the wave of the future; there’s simply no getting around this. Not only do people often get more done by working in a comfortable home environment, but doing so can actually help to cut down on waste in a variety of different ways. After all, many people who commute to work have to drive long distances in order to get there, which can eat up a great deal of gasoline. By allowing your employees to work from home, you can help to make your business dramatically more green.

Utilize Green Building Materials

Building-out a space can be a very labor intensive job, and often means spending a great deal of money on materials. A lot of people don’t realize, however, that green building materials often cost the same if not even less than traditional supplies. Low-VOC paints, reclaimed wood and energy-efficient light bulbs are all very attainable, even for those who have to stick to an extremely tight budget. If you are planning to build an office, you should take the time to ensure that the materials you use are ecologically friendly, as both the planet and your employees will thank you for doing so.

Hire a Reputation Management Company

Believe it or not, hiring a reputation management company (like www.reputation.com) can help to make your business more green. The better your marketing efforts, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to reduce waste. For example, many companies feel as if sending out mailers is an effective way to promote their business. This being said, this technique isn’t always ideal, and often results in a waste of paper. With the help of a reputation management company, you can avoid this issue and others from happening altogether.
