Green Your Business

Why green your business?

Environmentally responsible practices can improve your bottom line by reducing costs, increasing productivity, and improving customer loyalty:

• Use resources more efficiently to reduce costs with lower utility bills, fewer purchases of material, and rebates.
  
  
• Healthy work environments can lead to better worker productivity and less turnover.
  
  
• More and more, customers want their dollars to go to environmentally friendly businesses. By greening your business, you can increase sales and customer loyalty.
  
  
• Gain marketing edge over the competition by earning the Department of the Environment Green Certification through the Green Business Program.
  
  
• Recognition is given through the program website, city and agency newsletters, press coverage and a decal/seal you can place in your window or on your website.
  

Beyond the business benefits, greening your business is good for the environment and your community. Every little step you take to reduce your impact on the environment helps!
