Learn how to take advantage of the green revolution on 10th November at VIVO

There has been a lot of talk about the carbon price lately but what does that actually mean for Australian SMEs? There is still vital work that needs to be done in the voluntary space and plenty of opportunity to stand out from the crowd in doing so.

Businesses:  Learn how to take advantage of the ‘GREEN WAVE’

The green wave is here but not enough businesses understand nor are equipped to take full advantage of it.  Clearly, businesses that are ahead of the curve will profit the most from the green revolution.

CEO Freddy Sharpe says; “Alarmingly only 12% of businesses currently have any form of sustainability reporting. That also means there is a real opportunity to stand out from competitors and differentiate.”

Let’s build a responsible business community

Mainstreaming Green: by business for business, is a Climate Friendly campaign that recognizes the importance of building a savvy and responsible business community. It will help them take advantage of the green wave and make a serious dent in Australia’s carbon footprint.

Thought-leaders like Kylie Kwong, Michael Kitchener from Kitcheners Kitchens and The Body Shop Australia have all joined in to share their experiences on how to profit from being green and save money in the process.

Kitchener’s Kitchens Founder, Michael Kitchener, reflects –

“I was thinking ‘How can I position my company differently in what is an extremely competitive industry?’  The first step was going through the system with Climate Friendly and assessing our carbon footprint.  I found once I had a plan in place and once I knew where we were, Kitcheners Kitchens could look at how we could make changes, how we could look at reducing our waste. Beyond managing our carbon I have also introduced more environmentally friendly products into the kitchen industry over the past couple of years”, say Michael.

Hundreds of businesses are taking action

Already, hundreds of businesses are benefitting from taking action on climate change and seeing just how easy it is to save money, attract new clients and retain staff. 

“Australian businesses are the real engine for change in the broader community and it’s essential they are on board. The campaign goes about setting new norms with the ultimate goal of Mainstreaming Green” says Freddy Sharpe of Climate Friendly.
