Go Green                        
......good for business, good for the planet, and the right thing to do

Companies are realizing now more than ever that the business world is linked to the environment….in
more ways than they probably realize.  If you think about it, all products either come from something
that has been mined or something that has been grown.  The environment provides critical support to
the economic ecosystem, not only in terms of financial capital but also from natural capital as well!  
The "environmental angle" isn’t just a nice strategy tool for businesses; it has now become an
essential competitive business strategy in these changing times.

Everything has changed!  Today environmental missteps can create public relations nightmares,
destroy markets and careers, and knock billions of dollars off of the value of a company. Businesses
that do not add environmental awareness and thinking to their strategy toolbox risk missing upside
huge opportunities in markets that are increasingly shaped by environmental factors. Smart
companies are now seizing competitive advantage through strategic management of environmental
challenges.

Companies can transform environmental concerns into their corporate advantages and use these new
advantages to:

  • Spur innovation throughout their business
  • Increase brand exposure with an aggressive “going green” program
  • Potential corporate upside benefits
  • Manage downside risks for companies
  • Create new opportunities to cut costs
  • Create value for their company by driving revenues
  • Build competitive advantage against their competition
  • Promote environmental stewardship
  • Enhance intangible value for their business

There may be legal reasons for your business to care!

  • Laws that only applied to big businesses are now being enforced against small businesses
    as well.
  • Environmental advocacy groups are growing by the day
  • Due to the almost daily gains in technology, it gets easier every day for regulatory agencies to
    track and monitor environmental infractions and enforce compliance

Carbon Dioxide production is directly
proportional to fuel consumption. One gallon of
diesel = 22.2 pounds of CO2.
For example, a vessel using 500,000 gallons of
diesel per year and will produce 11,100,000
pounds of CO2. You would have to plant 5,550
trees to offset it's carbon footprint of just the fuel
consumption for one year of operation.
