Why Green Your Business?

With the growing number of companies claiming to be green and ethical, it is becoming increasingly difficult for consumers to distinguish which products are truly sustainable. To help counter this trend of “green washing”, I want to help you to examine various aspects of your business to minimize your impact on the environment and animals (yup, that includes humans as well). Examples of good business practices include the use of sustainable/recycled material, responsibly made products (ie. fair wages, healthy working conditions, etc.) and elimination of toxic substances.

Once you let your potential customers and clients know how you have "Greened" your practices, 80% will select you over your non Green competitors! 20% of consumers, the LOHAS group, will even pay a premium for your services!

I look forward to working with you and trust that this material will enhance the wonderful work that you are doing, and contribute to your future success!
