Benefits of being green for large organisations

Acting as an environmentally friendly organisation affects your bottom line and your organisation’s long-term success.

Complying with legislation and going further to adopt environmental and sustainable practices comes with tangible economic benefits for large organisations.

For example: reducing your energy usage, reducing your use of raw materials (and therefore your waste), and recycling/selling your used materials is all likely to make savings for your organisation.

For more on reducing your use of raw materials/reducing your waste bills, visit the Envirowise website.

There are many other benefits of good environmental practice too. Many government organisations will only work with suppliers of the green variety, and attracting investment can be much easier as an environmentally friendly organisation.

Take a look at the Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code or recycling waste management advisor London Remade, both of which are funded by the London Development Agency.

Sustainable practices can also keep existing customers happy and win over new ones, given increasing consumer interest in organisations’ green credentials.
