Issues: Green Enterprise

 

Purchasing Overview

The purchasing decisions your company makes, from printers to party favors, all have an impact on the environment. Consider the environmental effects of the products you purchase -- both upstream and downstream -- and give preference to ecologically preferable options. Try to reduce your ecological footprint and encourage the widespread adoption of environmentally responsible purchasing practices.
