GreenOver™
What is a GreenOver™ business?
A GreenOver business is a business that approaches the conduct of its operations with environmental sustainability and respects the human resource dimension of its activities through environmentally responsible behavior.
Members of the Green Business Coalition have expressed a commitment to sustainability and practices that can be incorporated into commercial activity. Being a Green business means changing the way a business purchases, develops, produces, and provides products and services so it has a positive impact on the environment.
There is a misconception that a GreenOver means engaging in expensive or cumbersome activities. Being Green simply means that your business engages in practices that minimize the impact on our environment through prudent activities such as recycling, using bio-degradable materials and using energy conservation practices when applicable.
GreenOvering means learning how to make minor changes in your business practices to:
- Comply with all environmental regulations
- Prevent pollution
- Conserve energy, water and other natural resources
- Reduce waste
- Control chemicals & hazardous materials
- Track and manage resource use
- Educate employees and customers
- Introduce Green practices to your supply chain
