The Road to Green
Going Green is a journey, an evolutionary process. Our philosophy to begin the journey is to THINK BIG...Start Small. Every person within an organization plays an important role in the initiative.
The Sustainable Workplace consultants at GVA Cawley will provide clients with the tools and knowledge to implement and manage their corporate green strategies. A preliminary consultation to define the sustainability goals & objectives of the key stakeholders sets the path. The next step is a Baseline Assessment of the organization's:
- Built Environment
- Business Practices
- Facilities Management
- Office Management
- Purchasing
- Technology
Once the baseline has been established an Opportunity Assessment is performed to identify strategic opportunities for:
- Cost Savings
- Reduction of Carbon Footprint
- Positive Publicity
- Education of Employees & Clients
If needed, a cost-benefit analysis may be performed on any or all recommendations to help support the case for going green. Our consultants will then develop a Corporate Green Initiative Program that will address issues such as Indoor Air Quality, Green Product Sources, Waste Reduction, Energy Efficient Operations, Employee Incentives, Green Printing and more. Additionally, our staff can assist in implementation of the new initiative with corporate events, internal & external messaging, change management and brand evolution.
As costs for energy and resources, and concerns for the environment have grown, the need for change has increased. Forward-thinking organizations can benefit from "going green" through:
- Realizing Governmental Incentives
- Reducing Health Insurance Costs
- Reducing Operating Costs
- Promoting Good Public Citizenship
Similar to ever-changing computer technology, the process of going green will constantly evolve as new sustainable technologies and products are introduced in the marketplace. With our assistance, companies can meet the challenge of moving forward to a sustainable future.
