GET YOUR EMPLOYEES ON BOARD
All the rules, regulations and recycling bins in the world won’t make a jot of difference if everybody ignores them. If you’re serious about making your business more sustainable then you need to make sure workers get involved. That needn’t mean constantly evangelising about polar bears and melting ice caps, but you need to be clear about what’s expected.

A carrot is likely to work more effectively than a stick here – what incentives can you provide to encourage people to save energy and recycle? And of course it’s important to lead by example – turning up in a Hummer and putting your draughty building’s only electric heater in your own office isn’t likely to go down well.
