Going green in your business isn’t just good for the planet, it’s great for your bottom line too! And the best news is that it’s just as rewarding and achievable for small businesses and SMBs as it is for large companies. Here are some tips!
Why going green is good for your bottom line
- It saves money – Using renewable and eco-friendly solutions, whether it’s solar panels to supply your electricity, wastewater recycling, or anything else, helps reduce operating costs, which means you have more money for growing your business.
- Customers love it – In a 2015 survey of over 30,000 consumers, Nielsen found that 66% of those consumers would pay more for products from sustainable sources. And this increased to 77% among Millennial consumers.
- It’s a great status symbol – Being sustainable and green is a fabulous PR boost, creating loads of marketing content that consumers engage with, growing your loyalty and showing that you’re an ethical business people can trust. After all, Consumer Sentiment Tracker shows that 65% of Aussies are concerned about their personal carbon footprint, and 40% of consumers believe a company’s social and environmental efforts are very or extremely important, making it a key aspect when it comes to purchasing products or services.
How can your business go green and grow?
Here’s how you can put this into action.
- Make energy-efficient upgrades – Every Aussie state and territory has subsidies and incentive schemes to help your company go green, making it a lot easier for small businesses to meet sustainability goals. From installing LED lighting and solar panels to investing in energy-efficient machines, there’s a lot you can do!
- Make your office space greener – Some of the best ways that SMBs can go green include offering remote working for employees, having a recycling or composting program, eliminating disposable and single-use plastics, and incorporating plants and natural lighting into your space.
- Work with sustainable or green vendors and suppliers – When you’re looking for new products to supply, logistics companies for shipping, packing companies, and more, you can do some research to make sure they are environmentally friendly, local, have green programs in place, and more! When it comes to products, look for suppliers that offer non-toxic, vegan, biodegradable, chemical-free, and greywater friendly.
