Creating a green team in your office is one fantastic way to ensure sustainability is at the forefront of all you do in (and out of) the workplace.
A truly green office comes with many benefits too; happier and healthier staff, lower carbon emissions, less waste and a better reputation among clients and competitors.
Therefore, establishing a green team is a great way to reap the rewards of becoming a sustainable workplace.
Building such a team doesn’t have to be difficult, either.
Firstly, ask for volunteers that are passionate about sustainability. Next, select members from as many different parts of the business as possible. This ensures the impact of their actions is diversified amongst your organisation.
Then, schedule regular meetings for your green team, ensuring the team has a good leader to maintain a positive direction.
Once your green team is up and running, you’ll see a number of benefits for your organisation. Here are just a few of them.
Engaging and Educating More Staff
When you have a green team in your office, the rest of your workforce will naturally become more engaged in sustainable practices.
This will come from constant focus on these issues, as well as education.
Moreover, more staff that are educated in sustainable practices will mean your business will be far more eco-friendly.
The roll-on effect of that is financial savings for your business, as well as a far better impact on the environment.
Make a Healthier Workplace
Having a permanent green team will mean a healthier workplace.
For example, not only will the team help to make your business more sustainable, it can also organise activities and workshops for your staff.
Education about improving diet and staying active is another way your green team can help to mould a more sustainable workplace.
Healthier staff are happier staff, and a workplace filled with happy staff is much more productive than the alternative.
Create New Methods for Sustainability
It’s important for every organisation to keep working at being the best they can be when it comes to sustainability.
Therefore, one of the prime benefits of having a green team is the constant implementation of new green strategies.
Your team may spend some time researching online or investigating the methods of other companies and green leaders in the industry.
This will ensure your organisation is at the forefront of sustainability, and not falling behind the competition.
Better Recycling Rate
When more waste ends up being recycled correctly, it means a better result for the environment, as well as savings for your business.
Commercial rubbish removal is an important process for any business.
