The Benefits of Going Green with Your Business
October 14, 2021 11:54 am Leave your thoughts
Green in your business could translate into more green in your pocket. The savings your business will see, the increase in customers and their willingness to support you, and the incentives from government entities are all reasons why creating or shifting to a green business will make you more money. Not to mention the most obvious plus side of it all, it also benefits the planet. The following are all ways that having your business go green will help increase profits.
The Incentives
First off, there are government incentives for turning your business into a "green" one, including tax breaks, rebates, and subsidies, according to Green Business Bureau. There are special grants and financing programs available for businesses who meet a certain degree of "green," including from the Small Business Association. In addition, there are specific tax breaks that relate to switching to alternate energy practices, systems that reduce power use, and specified levels of recycling.
The Customer Reception
Overall, businesses that go green receive increased demand from the public and their buying habits. This translates to a positive reputation as well. In fact, 78% of people are more likely to purchase a product that is clearly labeled as environmentally friendly, per Greenprint. The social value and benefits of having a sustainable, green business will keep people purchasing your products and coming through your doors. Use this to your advantage and be sure to make it clear in advertisements and on any packaging or marketing materials that your business has gone green. When it inevitably leads to higher profits, it will all have paid off.
The Savings.
The benefits of the eco-friendly practices themselves will save your business money. For example, if you are nixing packaging, you've just eliminated a cost! Water-saving devices, solar equipment, and other eco-friendly tools may have an initial cost but will ultimately save you and your business money over time.
These are all ways your business will both save and make money over time when it comes to converting your business into a sustainable and eco-friendly one. It doesn't matter what kind of business you have — it could be a restaurant, retail store, product, app, or otherwise.
