Green and white
To most businessmen, white papers are about as welcome as root canal surgery. Yet Planet Positive has produced one (available on http://beplanetpositive.com/sites/default/files/downloads/White%20Paper%20-%20Realising%20the%20Benfits%20of%20Environmental%20Sustainability%20in%20Business%20-%202011-04-01.pdf) which you might find enlightening and useful. The paper explores the case for businesses becoming more sustainable (paying particular attention to the demand from companies, many of which buy a lot of wide-format print) and sets out a roadmap to help businesses save the planet – and save money. The not-for-profit organization also has a handy environmental index so you can assess the progress you’re making against an external yardstick. That is likely to deliver real feedback on your sustainability performance, and not just the kind of stats to make up a self-congratulatory notices for the canteen notice board.
