TAKING ALL ELEMENTS OF GREEN BUSINESS, INTO CONSIDERATION

An integral part of who we mean to do business with these days and how we mean to move forward is invariably going to be influenced by who you’re doing business with as much as who your intended partner is doing business with too, and this is a rather critical element of something you should be aware of: knowing your clients, clients.

THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF WASTE PLANNING

Before you can effectively diagnose where you’re at as a business, you also need to know what it is you mean to achieve your waste management goals. You may think that you don’t have an impact, but you do and if think that the US is leading the way…you may want to think again.

But your waste management team doesn’t have to be all that smart or overly sophisticated, you could start with something as simple as involving all of the stakeholders in your business to get involved with the decision-making that impacts each of their departments or sections.  Have them present plans to control recycling and waste that directly impacts their sections of the business and if they involve their direct teams in the process that will instantly create a greater sense of awareness.

These are challenges that more and more businesses are going to have to take even more seriously than they’re currently doing and if we’re serious about getting a handle on our environmental protocols, we’re going to have to get on board.
