According to Charlotte High, SmartWorks programme manager for Global Action Plan, achieving a more eco-friendly business can be beneficial to both the environment and to profits, with some changes, such as reducing paper consumption and waste in offices, costing firms no money at all to implement.
"Going green can be highly cost effective for small businesses as environmental savings often translate into financial savings as well," she explained.
Ms High used a hotel that had managed to save ,13,000 a year through increased environmental management practices as an example of good eco-friendly policies in action.
