Measure

... the footprint of your business and identify consumption and emissions patterns both in your core and day-to-day business. Ask yourself:

  • How can transportation be optimized?
  • Are there any packaging solutions that are more efficient?
  • How does your employees travel to and from work?
  • What do they eat for lunch every day, and what happens to the leftover food?

Set aside time to look through your routines.

  • Develop strict recycle and waste management systems
  • Turn off the power at night
  • +++ depending on context.
