Become an environmentally-friendly business. It’s one of the easiest and most beneficial ways to cut costs, particularly as it will boost the company image while saving money at the same time.
Essentially, the goal is to try to eliminate waste from the office space. Print documents only when it’s necessary. Use recycled printer cartridges. Even better, use refill kits to make the most of your current cartridges. Use energy-efficient light bulbs and products that meet Energy Star specifications, as determined by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These products can save you money by using up to 30-75% less electricity than other office equipment.
All of these items can be cheaper over the lifetime of your business than standard alternatives and make enormous strides in preserving the environment. As a company, you want to save money, but just think of the greater impact implementing these strategies will have.
