Greening Your Small Business

Here's a tip to help you green your workplace:

Subsidize alternative transportation.

Purchase or subsidize bus passes for your employees in lieu of providing free parking spaces. Give cash back to employees who chose not to use their parking space.

Not only will your employees reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses they produce when commuting to work, but they will engage in a healthy activity twice a day.

Remember to lead by example - if you bike to work, your employees are more likely to follow suit.

Here are some links to information that can help you develop an alternative transportation program for your business:

Better Environmentally Sound Transportation (BEST) A resource for alternative transportation issues.

Go Green Transportation and commuting alternatives in the Lower Mainland. Save time. Save money. Clear the air.

 


Greening your business can help you:

  • lower operating costs,
  • gain a competitive edge,
  • work in a bright, healthy, fresh office,
  • create safer working conditions for your employees, and
  • have happy, motivated, and highly productive staffwhile reducing your business's impact on the environment.
