Green Business Ventures

I believe in India there is not much consciousness for businesses to go green. The only companies that go for it are big big corporates which can afford it or which see more than just a benefit from it. Smaller companies tend to not think about it, but if we could take care of a few things we could help make an impact without hurting our pocket too much-

1. Employ services of Eco-friendly companies- I'll start with an example- Waste is generated from any type of institution like a government office (paper waste etc), a steel plant (industrial waste), a mall (dry and wet waste), a housing society (dry and wet waste). If these instituitions could employ the services if a reputed and responsible waste management services provider who could porvide with a Green Certificate , then the management can be free of any kind of worries regarding the legal requirements and social commitments of the disposal of such waste.

2. Use CFL lighting and Energy Star products- This could be a one time investment to ensure long term benefits.

3. Go paperless- Try to reduce your dependency on paper as much as possible. Same for faxes and printouts. Make use of pdfs, pen drives, viewing softwares to view documents on-the-go.

4. Recycled products- Try to use recycled papers, pens, holders, folders and other equipment which can be found/made from the existing materials.

5. Be Responsible- It's the matter of ethics and responsibility to measure what kind of impact we are making to the environment. Look around and take 2 mintues to think about it.
