These days, it is important to try to work in green business practices when youb re starting a new business or trying to reinvigorate a current one. Consumers are putting a lot of value into businesses that show that they care about the planet and their communities enough to take steps to better both of them. If you are thinking of starting to lean into sustainable practices, Whole Foods Market is an excellent example of a business that is putting a lot of energy and effort into reducing their carbon footprint.
Here are just a few ways that any business can borrow tips from Whole Foods:
- Technology like power monitors can help you reduce the amount of energy that is wasted in your office space.
- Set up a system that will help your employees set up a carpool or support the use of public transportation.
- Recycle and use recycled paper with a high percentage of post-consumer waste.
Whole Foods also does a lot to invest in alternative energy sources and provide information to the public about how they are trying to do as little harm as possible while running their business.
