Need a Sustainable Plan?

As a business leader, you care about the sustainability of your company and the environment. You’re not alone.

Around 72 percent of leading global CEOs cited the importance of their brands’ trust and reputation as main motivations for promoting sustainability, according to a poll by the UN. Plus, it’s just good for the planet. “These changes are blazing a trail toward a new awareness,” explains The Sustainability Revolution.

Here are some ways to put your own sustainability plan in place at your office.

CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) bulbs can help you lower your electric bill and waste less energy, since they use 75 percent less energy than traditional bulbs and last 10 times longer.

Placing paper recycling bins next to traditional workplace trashcans can make recycling easier for employees. Office supplies made from recycled paper also reduce waste.

When it comes time to ship, make Styrofoam peanuts a thing of the past! Companies like 3M and Hexapack offer environmentally-friendly packing supplies.
