| Remember "The Midas Touch" Dear Business Owner/Executive, Smart Coast was excited about the response to the sustainable business workshop that was held last September. You expressed an interest in continuing the dialogue about sustainable business practices and the timing is right for this dialogue to begin. You will remember the information about the Triple Bottom Line which means reducing operating costs by looking through environmental lens.The Workshop Speaker, Bill Stough said, "The journey towards sustainable development requires that businesses, governments and individuals take action, i.e., changing consumption and production behaviors, setting policies and changing practices." He also gave 10 steps to begin this journey in your company: 1. Identify a volunteer in your company to serve as the champion for green efforts 2. Form a green team to work with your company champion 3. Measure your company's energy consumption 4. Measure your company's consumption of material 5. Measure your company's consumption of water 6. Measure your company's waste stream 7. Measure your company's hazardous waste 8. Measure your company's recycling success 9. Make performance improvemnet recommendations in each catagory 10. Establish a sustainability scorecard for stakeholders As you begin your business journey toward sustainability,it is important to begin to share with other companies what you are doing, plan to do, or are encouraging your suppliers to do. Smart Coast wants to offer you the opportunity to network with other companies by hosting the Green Initiatives Lunches on a regular basis. For those of you who were unable to attend the first Sustainable Business Workshop, you can come and learn from other companies what that means and how you can get started. Please plan to attend the first of these sessions hosted by the Bay Bears. Come and hear what they are implementing and learn what others are doing as well. Together we can make our region sustainable. |
