Reputation is everything when you run a business. If you have a bad one, it will lead to a whole host of negative issues. However, a good reputation can help drive your business forwards and help you gain more customers.
As such, building a good reputation is key, and there are many ways to do this. One of the best ways is to make your business more environmentally friendly. Doing this improves public perception of your company and can also lead to additional benefits. So, here are five easy ways you can become a more environmentally friendly business:
Switch to LED Lighting
One easy way you can be more environmentally friendly is to tone down your energy bill. A business will use up so much energy every day – usually via their lighting. You’ll constantly have lights on inside and let’s not forget any exterior signs you have lit up too. With standard lighting, you can accrue a huge energy bill which is bad for the environment. The more energy you use, the more fossil fuels get burnt powering your business. The easy idea is to switch to LED lighting instead of the lighting you’re using now. LED lights are far more eco-friendly and energy efficient. There are various savings calculators available online to determine how much you could save. You can use them inside and can even get your hands on LED signage too. LED lights can last up to 25 times longer and use 75% less energy than standard lighting. Making this switch is such a simple way to make your company more environmentally friendly. In fact, converting to LED in your business can be as easy as retrofitting existing light fixtures with LED. In simple terms, you keep your existing light fixture shell and replace the bulb rather than replacing the entire fixture.
