GREEN BUSINESS OPERATING STRATEGIES

There’s a lot to be learned from executives on the golf course. They engage in friendly dialogue, they ride together in the same non-polluting golf cart, and they replace divots. At AmeriGreen Strategies, we work to transform this same logic from the gold course to the boardroom.

Green business is not about doing with less, sacrificing incentives or spending more money. It’s about efficiency, performance and offsets. Some occupations and lifestyles require a large SUV. That’s fine. But find one that runs on bio-diesel and do something positive to help offset the carbon footprint. Replace travel with Web-based teleconferences. Buy a clock thermostat for the office and really program it. And recycle those plastic water bottles, after you’ve reused them once or twice.

This kind of thinking doesn’t cost a lot of extra money. In fact, it’ll probably save you both money and time (so you can get out and hit a few more golf balls).
Here are a few more ways that AmeriGreen Strategies can help you become green:

Corporate offices:
• Incentives for carpoolers
• No Smoking and Recycling policies
• Lighting and temperature controls
• Re-use non-sensitive copier paper
• Don’t mail – E-mail
Manufacturing plants:
• Organize off-site parking and ride sharing
• Reduce product packaging
• Recycle manufacturing waste
• Use more fans and less air conditioning
• Eliminate VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) from the manufacturing process

Special Events:
• Offer recycling incentives
• Co-ordinate public transportation
• Offer matching funds or incentives for voluntary carbon offset purchases
• Devise traffic patterns that reduce vehicle idling in lines
• Schedule special entertainment after event, not before

AmeriGreen Strategies also specialized in partnering corporations with customers, vendors, suppliers and/or other non-competing businesses for special green sponsorships and other pro- environmental opportunities.


HOW IT WORKS

AmeriGreen Strategies will perform an extensive audit of your company, your products/services, suppliers and customers and your business practices. We will facilitate the formation of a “green committee” of representatives from every phase of your business. We will collectively develop a list of goals and priorities along with an implementation schedule. We also provide periodic committee meeting attendance to check on your progress and solve any new issues.

Once some measurable progress has been achieved, we will consult with your marketing and public relations team and develop a strategy to incorporate your new “green” image into your sales messages, your Web site, and through a high-profile public relations campaign. It’s important to set yourself apart from your competition as a pioneer within your industry by adopting environmentally friendly business practices.
