About Us
Today’s business atmosphere demands that companies take a responsible stance on the issues surrounding energy efficiency, waste reduction and protection of the environment. However putting a green policy in place or even knowing where to start is a challenge many companies hesitate to undertake.
Practically’s Green Program is one that brings practical solutions to the everyday work world. We’ve designed a three-tiered approach that allows a business to take important steps that will lead to a continual greening of the company and provide it with a sustainable future. Best of all, going green can have positive and lasting effects on the bottom line.
Our three-phase program begins with a thorough assessment of all areas of the business including energy, water, environmental and conservation practices, followed by the creation of a fully customized Green Plan.
Phase One: Assessment
· Conduct a baseline survey to determine the current environmental state of the business.
· Evaluate energy and water conservation, the level of environmental awareness within the company and the opportunities for property re-greening.
· Create an opportunity checklist to ensure the business is taking full advantage of programs and rebates.
Phase Two: Design
· Identify priority opportunities which can effectively reduce the environment impact of the business.
· Create an Action Plan analysis report that outlines the costs and benefits of undertaking further steps in greening the business.
Phase Three: Implementation
· Assist in establishing an EcoTeam within the work environment.
· Provide guidance and help in applying for energy conservation rebate programs, water conservation and transportation rebate programs.
· Undertake a full waste audit and identify waste reduction strategies.
· Provide assistance in drafting green procurement policies, conduct supplier background checks and source greener office supplies.
Being a green business can not only reduce expenses and increase bottom line results, it can enhance marketability and in turn, market share. Practically Green can provide the crucial expertise required to help a business build its accountability to its customers and its community.
