New Green Business Program Website Enables Small and Medium-Sized Businesses to Document Their Sustainability, Affordably
Posted on: Monday, 14 September 2009, 10:05 CDT
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Until now, small and medium-sized businesses wanting to reduce their environmental impact and present themselves to customers and the government as a Green Business have found this goal out of reach. The research and documentation necessary for a convincing sustainability claim required too much time and expensive technical help. A new website, GreenIn7.com, solves this problem, making it affordable for a business of any type to characterize themselves as a Green Business and back up their claim (www.greenin7.com).
"The solution came to me out of necessity," says Greg Parker, owner of a small environmental management company specializing in hazardous waste transportation and disposal, environmental construction, and emergency chemical spill response. "I knew my company's work practices were helping the environment, but I had no way to track, prove and market the fact I was a Green Business. In 7 straightforward steps, Green In 7 enables a business owner or manager to lower their environmental impact and document their earth-friendly practices."
When Parker researched existing green auditing and certification programs, he found everything from a single-page green certification form or verbal audits over the phone to consulting programs costing thousands of dollars. Knowing how regulated the environmental industry is, he felt something more substantial and credible was necessary that would also fit today's tight budgets.
GreenIn7.com provides instruction, template plans, tracking forms and regularly updated information that assists a company of any size or type in implementing and documenting energy-saving measures, as well as then marketing itself as a Green Business.
"In the near future, we will see formal regulations put in place regarding what's needed for a company to call itself a Green Business," Parker says. "When that happens, our clients will be prepared to meet the standards. In the meantime, companies that follow our program receive a certificate stating they are Green."
The membership fee is $149.99 with a $49.99 annual renewal fee thereafter. For more information, businesses can visit www.greenin7.com.
