From a promotional point of view I think this is an important change companies need to make. More and more people are refusing to use certain businesses because of their reputation of being harmful to the environment. Blogs, websites, and even television show and magazines are making it a point to promote eco-friendly companies.

You could really increase your clients by using more environmentally safe policies.

If you make your consumers think your are an eco friendly company it will bring you allot of advantage especially in these days with all those enviromental problems.

I believe that the change in business attitude towards being environmentally friendly, is mainly due to consumer demand.

Most businesses are concerned with their market and what their customers wants, needs and desires are.

If there is a market for environmentally friendly products, companies will do their best to comply.

I believe that with the progressively changing attitude towards being environmentally friendly more and more companies will choose to go green rather than go out of business.

“Jumping on the bandwagon” sounds too opportunistic to me! I think socially responsible companies of today’s business environment cannot ignore the environment and get away with it. It is better to do everything in a green way rather than just pay lip service.

Yeah, I agree with stan. Sometimes, certain company have their own agenda. There is no need to spend more on this. Besides, this recycling campaign should benefits us by reducing raw materials
cost and at the same time keep the environment clean.

I completely agree with charlie.In my company there is the same problem.The company joins the eco-friendly products but they still don’t change the old ones,and this annoys me a lot.However we don’t need to jump on the green bandwagon.

People in business are moral, but when they go to work they just are programmed by their need to be successful to use any means possible to get ahead of the competition or get promoted, often loosing sight of the fact that you should not use the environment problems of the planet as a marketing angle to increase business.

Environmental protection is not only the mainstream movement now but is also the right thing to do. Being a socially responsible corporate citizen not only makes good moral but economic sense and a company should make this known to its prospects and present customers. Gifts using recycled material and indicatiing so is the way to go.

Recycling is big business now, generating it’s very own waste, the next big message will be really to think hard about carbon footprint and not even produce at least amount of production as possible including recycled production.

Oh Stan how right you are and whats with all these electrical companies with all their heavy duty plastic packaging. I brought a wireless adapter the other day and it took me nearly 10 minutes and a cut finger to get into the packaging and of course it was not recyclable plastic either. I think we have all gone mad, don’t get me wrong I’m all in favour of recycling but first lets get the supermarkets and shops to cut back on their bags and packaging.
