Increase your Profit by Greening your Business
My local news station just reported on the Going Green website, which aims to help local business go green. Not only that, but it also shows these businesses how to become more profitable by going green.
From the website itself:
The Going Green: learn, do and save workshop series have been produced for small to medium sized businesses to help them increase their profitability by “greening” their operations.
and…
These workshops will equip SME’s throughout North Queensland and the Northern Territory with the knowledge and skills to allow them to employ “Green” business practices in energy, water and waste and to improve their business’s profitability and environmental impact. The program also involves training for our participants in easy-to-understand methods of how to implement and utilise these practices in their business.
I think the great thing about these workshops is that they provide an incentive to business owners - to increase profits. Even if a business owner isn’t interested in helping the environment, he/she’s bound to be interested in making more money!
Given this initiative is limited to my local region (North Queensland and the Northern Territory of Australia) I’d be interested to find out how many other similar programs are being run around the world.
Are you aware of any similar programs in your local region?
