As a small business, have you ever wondered if your customers think about the impact your business has on the environment? Many small business owners appreciate the perceived large business wisdom that businesses concerned about the environment are better managed and ultimately more profitable. However, when you are running a small business the environment is often very low on your list of priorities. In any event where do you start?
For big businesses tackling the carbon footprint of the business makes sense through reducing energy usage, reusing what they can, recycling what they can’t and purchasing carbon credits to offset the net carbon emissions – “reduce credits services” makes a lot of sense. Of course, they typically employ staff or consultants to calculate their CO2 emissions. But if it makes sense for large companies shouldn’t it also make sense for small businesses.
There is a wealth of suggestions available to businesses which have the time to integrate initiatives to reduce, reuse and recycle initiatives into their businesses. Most of it is common sense and a lot of it makes good commercial sense – turn the heating down or the lights off if you don’t need them or, ask is this journey really necessary.
For a small business you can’t change much of the services or products you buy or supply to your customers. The choice of product or service is ultimately the customer’s decision. What you can do is to make sure that how you supply that product or service is as environmentally neutral as possible and that’s where purchasing some form of carbon credit with a commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle is a cost effective solution. Purchasing on-line carbon credits for a business can cost as little as £20 per head annually (€30, $50) covering heating, business travel and distribution. It’s a practical option for many businesses who want to make a positive impact with their customers.
A number of businesses today, including the Carbon Credit Agency have built simple on-line tools to enable businesses to purchase carbon credits in a matter of minutes on-line and offset their Co2 emissions which large businesses would spend tens of thousands to estimate. This opens up a practical opportunity for small businesses to do something practical to address global warming and climate change. It has never been easier.
