For an entrepreneur looking to go “green,” here are some tips to consider:
WORK WITH CONSULTANTS
Outsourcing your sustainability efforts to a third party might sound like a wild idea. However, given that expertise ranks among the biggest sustainability barriers for small businesses, it makes sense to have a consultant help with this process. Finding the right one might take effort, but it will be worth it for the expected sustainability benefits.
IN SOME INSTANCES, BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE WITHIN THE BUSINESS MIGHT BE THE ASPECT THAT LEADS TO A SUSTAINABLE WORKING MODEL.
AIM FOR BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE
In some instances, behavioural change within the business might be the aspect that leads to a sustainable working model. Simple things such as switching off lights and the use of energy-efficient appliances and recyclable materials, among others, are low-cost changes that have high returns potential within the business.
