WHY GO GREEN?

In today’s tricky market, how does a business maintain competive edge with consumers who are increasingly concerned with environmental responsibility in addition to cost and quality? How can businesses reduce operating costs and risks associated with escalating energy prices, and tightening environmental regulations? What can firms do to attract and retain top talent and increase worker productivity, while mitigating absenteeism and liability risk?

According to a survey entitled the “The Dollars and Sense of Green Retrofits” of organizations that have completed at least one LEED-certified green retrofit:
  • 100% of respondents reported an increase in goodwill/brand equity
  • 93% reported a greater ability to attract talent
  • 81% reported greater emplyee retention
  • 87% reported an improvement in productivity
  • 75% reported an improvement in employee health
  • 73% reported actual cost savings from the retrofit

Companies that implement sustainability strategies and green retrofits positon themselves to benefit from considerable savings, stay ahead of the regulatory curve, and differentiate themselves from their competition as green leaders. The demand for green products and services continues to increase as new choices become available and information is introduced that enables consumers to align their purchase decisions with their values. The earlier a company adopts these responsible practices, the bigger the gains it stands to reap.

Today’s busineses have a very unique window of opportunity, but that window is closing; In the near future, businesses will simply be unable to opt out of being green. From a practical perspective, pursuing sustainability is just good plain risk management!
