Why going green is good for business

Updated: May 6

Geez, business is a busy jungle, with the clang of the cash register drowning out the chirp of bird. But as custodians of the planet, we all now it's high time we for eco-friendly practices and you should be shouting about it from the rooftops.


Why, you ask? Well, broadcasting your green initiatives is as savvy as stocking the pantry with nibbles before a party - showing you care.


Even I have started inject some green into the corporate identity at Great British Content in purchasing a much more energy efficient laptop and changing all my lights to LED. Let me tell you, it’s not just good for the earth, it’s splendid for business too.



You see, today’s consumer is like a detective in a thriller novel, always on the lookout for clues that reveal a company’s true character. In telling about your commitment to sustainability, you're polishing our brand image and also building trust. And trust, much like a good wine, can be remarkably fruitful.


Shouting about our eco-credentials is like putting premium fuel in a sports car - it enhances performance. Telling people the stuff stuff you're up to attracts and retains top talent who are eager to work for a company with forward-looking values.


You might even open the door to new markets and customer segments that really value environmental responsibility.


Don't forget the financial perks. Operating sustainably can lead to significant cost savings, such as fewer materials wasted, lower energy costs, and yes, even tax incentives.


Being vocal about our eco-friendly practices has to be substantiated. It's not keeping up appearances. But when you do make a green improvement, that's a strategic move that strengthens your position in the marketplace, engages stakeholders, and, crucially, entices customers.


Announcing our green initiatives is much like a comedian grabbing the mic at a gig. It’s your chance to shine, to stand out, and let’s be honest, to get a round of applause for being splendidly eco-conscious.


It's all very well doing good but you should be seen doing good. Your customers deserve to know they've chosen a company that cares about the planet. You could say it’s a bit like wearing a flashy tie - it catches the eye and says, ‘Look at me, I’m making an effort here!’ Except you actually are or that would be greenwashing.


Flaunting your commitment to the planet is a great way to strike the right chord with today's value savvy consumers. Every time we talk about reducing carbon footprints or banning plastic straws, we’re saying just what the tofu eating eco-friendly crowd want. And they're the ones with the money, right? So get their business whilst helping to save the earth.


When consumers see that you care about more than just the bottom line, you'll gain their trust. And trust, my friends, is what turns a one-time buyer into a loyal fan. It’s like a good biscuit with your tea—it just makes everything better.



In being vocal abouty our green efforts, you're telling the world that you're reliable, you're responsible, and heck, we’re downright likeable. It’s the sort of reputation that makes people stick with usyou through thick and thin, like loyal viewers who never miss an episode of Crossroads.


Your outspoken stance on sustainability can't just be padding; back it up with action. Yes, you'll probably have to get your wallet out to pay for whatever it is you're doing: an electric van or new LED lighting. But there's a healthy return in investment if you shout about it to a fashionable clientele with plenty of disposable income.
