As a small-business owner, it's important to know about general liability. In short, it guards against bodily injury, property damage, medical expense #claims, slander, and libel. Talk to me about this #coverage, and how it can protect the #business you’ve worked to build.
Here are four reasons why your small business should implement #sustainable business practices: 1. Boost your bottom line – Sustainable business practices are more efficient and can save you money by reducing waste and energy use. Consider switching to post-consumer waste materials like recycled paper, biodegradable cleaners and LED lights. 2. Enhance competitiveness – Consumers are looking to lessen their environmental impact by purchasing from sustainable-minded companies. Define your brand’s environmental commitments and make sure you are sourcing suppliers that align with or advance them. 3. Improve recruitment/retention – Championing sustainability can enhance your employee’s commitment to your business. It helps attract socially-conscious employees that are more likely to connect with your brand and stay longer. 4. Bolster branding – Putting sustainability at the forefront of your brand is a great way to differentiate your business from competitors and helps influence positive public perception. How do you incorporate #sustainability in your life? Let me know in the comments.
