Easy Ways for Companies to Go Green
Adopting some of these easy ways for companies to go green can save your company money, as well as help look after the environment to conserve natural resources for the future.
Reimbursement for Transportation
Offer reimbursement to those employees who take public transportation to work, or who car share. This can eliminate one employee driving a vehicle that can hold up to four, and cut down on those harmful emissions. Investing in a fleet of electric vehicles, such as the affordable Chevy Volt, is another option for transportation.
Solar Panels
Solar panels have become more affordable, easier to install and far more commonplace and of course, they can save you significantly on the cost of your energy bills. In addition, you are taking a big step towards a greener and more energy efficient workplace. Lights installed in break rooms, kitchens and conference rooms that switch off when nobody is in the room can also save your company a lot of money.
Local Vegetation
You can also save money when it comes to the exterior of your building. Local vegetation means you won't pay as much for a gardener or to care for the plants, and using the building's natural surroundings to influence the landscape is a cost saving move. Building owners can consider green roofing to beautify the area and add greenery to city neighborhoods.
Your company may use a lot of paper and this another obvious area in which to save money, by going paperless when possible, using electronic files and printing on both sides of the paper. Following the tips above can help you to go green and help your bottom line.
