Major retailers like Tesco and B&amp;Q have initiated plans to reduce their carbon emissions, while ethical businesses like Lush pride themselves on reducing their carbon output and maintaining their mantle as an ethical retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet it\u2019s not only larger companies that should stay green. Even the smallest office has a responsibility, both legal and ethical, to keep carbon footprints low and resourcefulness high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government figures have shown that carbon emissions remain dangerously high in the UK, yet the government has relatively few regulations to push businesses into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s more to making a business profitable than following legislation \u2013 a workplace with solid eco-credentials is a PR coup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The PR boost<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sustainable-business\/environmentally-friendly-sustainable-business-profitable\">research group DuPont<\/a> committed itself to a 65 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the 10 years prior to 2010. Once these changes were implemented, it saved $2.2 billion a year thanks to energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are you\u2019re not on the same scale as DuPont, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t save cash and enjoy effective publicity by being a green company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What we can offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve spent a long time developing a product that can help you in your efforts to stay green, and come up with Phoenix Recycled Planters that are made from over 80 per cent retired office furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ecological ethos has been fully harnessed with these plant containers, designed using scratch-resistant ABS plastic and coming in a wide range of specific designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine these containers with your planters and you\u2019ll enjoy a cleaner office with a markedly reduced carbon footprint.<br>This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to improving your workplace\u2019s green record.
