There are so many positives for a company who maintains and practices eco-friendly values.

Today, consumers are actively looking for businesses that promote environmentally sound ways of doing business. When customers and employees know that you are doing your share to save the environment, they are more inclined to do business with you and become loyal partners and employees. Since customers increasingly expect companies’ environmental ethics to match their own, let’s look at some ways you can cut back on unnecessary waste and become eco-friendly.

Reduce

Cutting back on materials you overuse can provide huge cost savings. With more companies committing to work at home personnel,

Consider using Google documents on your computer and share it with everyone in your office or home offices, instead of wasting paper and over printing documents.
Utilize Green Web Hosting. Did you know that most green companies cost the same or less than companies running servers using fossil fuels?
Replace paper with recycled paper. Recycled paper may be a little more expensive, but the long term financial and environmental benefits far outweigh not using recycled paper.
Use eco-friendly cleaning products with no harmful chemicals.
Use eco-friendly transportation such as electric cars, ride- share, or ride your bicycle to work if close enough.

Reuse

Reusing is one of the easiest ways to become eco-friendly. Stop buying new plastic water bottles from vending machines. Better yet, eliminate bottled water machines and add a fresh water dispenser to your office for your employees to use. Then bring your water bottle from home and encourage your employees to do the same. Use refillable office supplies, such as ink cartridges, tape dispensers, etc. And make sure to use reusable containers for receiving and transporting goods throughout your company, and use the same for packaging and shipping materials.

Recycle

When you can’t reduce and reuse, recycling is your best option. Paper, plastic, glass and aluminum are the most common items to recycle, but there are plenty of other things you can put in that blue bin. Check your local recycling policies for more information. Don’t forget to donate your unwanted or unused goods to schools and charitable organizations.
