 The climate is a 'hot' issue. After the successful film "An Inconvenient Truth", climate campaign "Here" and countless of other initiatives, consumers and organizations are increasingly aware of the environment. Consumers expect manufacturers and service providers to be involved in the environment. On the other hand companies expect their suppliers and partners to respect the environment. Traditionally staff likes to work for involved employers.
So it is time for you to ask yourself how green your organization really is. Did you define targets for how the consciousness of your organization should be in 201X? Do you encourage your employees to make environmentally friendly choices whenever possible? Perhaps even more importantly, are your stakeholders aware of your investments in a better world? To help you run an environmentally conscious business, EFM Software developed a "green" dashboard. This dashboard contains a number of objectives and KPI’s that give direction to the environmentally conscious business. Obviously it is a good plan to add your own flavors to this dashboard (think of sustainable projects or areas of improvement that you have identified).This dashboard will help you both to determine how green your organization performs and provides the opportunity to define comments and action plans so that you will achieve your goals. Moreover, it is a communication tool to customers, employees and suppliers to let them know that you are an environmentally conscious partner / employer that is willing to invest in the future of mother earth.
