Key Steps: Adopting a Sustainability Program
Step 7:
Celebrating Your Successes
Provide regular updates to employees and management about your sustainability program in newsletters (preferably on-line) and meetings, using the data from your tracking system. Consider equating your company's successes in terms of the number of trees spared, energy and water saved, toxic materials eliminated, or the amount of waste diverted from the landfill by using products that use less packaging.
Two good resources to use for environmental "factoids" are:
- Environmental Benefits Calculator
Presented by the Northeast Recycling Council. - Paper Calculator
Presented by the Environmental Defense Fund.
Give rewards and recognition to Sustainability Team members and key members of your company when you celebrate your successes.
