Is Your Business a Green Business?
What classifies a business as green? Could you be certified as a green business? There are a million questions surrounding being green, but it’s not really all that complicated.
We all know the obvious things: recycle, reduce paper use, turn off lights, etc. But you can take it a step further by implementing an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for your business. The EPA Small Business Division has produced a workbook to help small businesses develop their very own EMP. The 80 page workbook is free and can be downloaded from the Business.gov website. It is a great resource whether you want something simple to help educate your employees and customers on your efforts, or if you’re looking to implement a full Environmental Management System (EMS). (If you’re after the latter, may I remind you that McDCG is available to assist you). Either way it’s a great place to start and you may find that you’re greener than you thought!
For more ideas visit the Green Guide for New Businesses on the Business.gov website.
