5 Green New Year Resolutions for Business
November 30, 2020

green business

The beginning of the year is always a good opportunity for businesses to make positive changes, much like people make New Year’s resolutions each year. This year, there should be a focus on reducing environmental impact as it is clear that every business should be finding ways to reduce their impact and, and when everyone starts to pull their weight is when positive change happens. There are lots of different ways that a business could start to be greener in 2021, which could even help the business in a few different ways – read on for a few resolutions that are worth considering for the year ahead.

  1. Encourage Remote Work Where Possible

Remote working has become the new norm in 2020 and it can bring a wide range of benefits to both the business and employees. It is also a smart way for companies to be greener as they do not have staff commuting too and from work each day as well as using energy in the office, which also means that you can make big savings on your energy bill when it comes to remote work.

  1. Use Eco-Friendly Suppliers and Materials

The new year could also be a good chance to look at your suppliers, especially if contracts are expiring. Switching to green and local suppliers will improve your own green credentials and you should also look into the materials that your company is using and make improvements if possible, which could include becoming a paperless office.

  1. Increase Recycling

Businesses often create a lot of waste but often this is material that could be recycled. Making recycling a priority in order to prevent landfill is one of the best ways to be more environmentally friendly and it is something that can easily be increased by investing in a recycling baler from somewhere like  recyclingbalers.com, which can compress recyclable materials into an easy-to-manage bundle (this can also lower your waste transport costs).

  1. Use Energy-Efficient Equipment

Every business relies heavily on equipment such as computers, lighting, machinery and kitchen equipment. Switching to energy-efficient equipment is an excellent way to reduce your energy consumption while still operating at full capacity, plus this is also a highly effective way to bring your energy bill down each month.

  1. Raise Awareness

In addition to taking steps to become an environmentally-friendly business, you should also do what you can to raise awareness and encourage others to be greener. This can be done by keeping people updated on what steps you are taking to be greener, creating content on how people can reduce their carbon footprint, partnering with other green companies and attending green events.

These are all good green resolutions for businesses in 2021 and should all be considered. In addition to making your business greener and joining the battle against environmental damage, you might find that this could bring a range of other benefits to your company such as reducing costs and improving your brand reputation.
