Green Purchasing for Businesses and Organizations
One of the toughest challenges for greening organizations is getting internal committment to improve the sustainability of the business and its own facilities. One of the most overlooked, yet easiest, ways to begin improving the footprint of a company is to develop green purchasing policies and move towards buying environmentally preferable products. Joshua talks about how businesses, institutions and governments can effectively implement green procurement practices that reduce costs, lower footprints and create success stories for employees to beginning moving the company towards a greener future.
Ecolabels and Certifications: Who is Winning the Ecolabel War and its Impact on Green Products
With hundreds of ecolabels and new ones popping up every couple months, there is much talk about consumer confusion. But is this really true? Are consumers tired of too many labels? From a business perspective, how do ecolabels impact your business? What are the costs? What are the true incentives and rewards you can expect? Joshua explores the world of ecolabels, standards and certifications to discuss what is working well, what isn’t and where the industry is headed.
What do Consumers Really Care About When Buying Green Products?
At conferences and in the green media you continue to hear that the number of consumers that are purchasing green products is growing at a rapid rate. But is this really true? Consumer surveys and actual purchasing behavior show conflicting results as consumers don’t always tell the truth about what they are really buying. Joshua provides insight on what consumers really care about, what are the major trends for consumer purchasing behavior and how brands can reach a mainstream audience with a health and sustainability message.
