If your New Years resolution is to make your business greener then we’ve got some great ideas to help you out.
Congratulations! You’re one of the forward thinking companies recognising that there is a rising demand for greener workplaces. You can see that more and more people want to buy environmentally friendly products. And it’s clear to you that going green will help keep your costs down.
Now how do you get started? Transport is responsible for a significant proportion of the county’s carbon emissions – so it’s a great place to start if you want to cut your company’s carbon footprint. There are lots of things to consider, including the state of your company’s fleet, how your staff travel to and from work and how you make deliveries. In fact we’ve got a website full of information relating to all of these different options, but if you’re looking for one quick and easy way to go green here’s a great piece of advice:
Try using a green courier service for your business deliveries and collections.
Pedal Express is one such local cycle courier. Based in nottingham, they have been running a low carbon delivery service since 1998, when they had just two cycle couriers carrying out urgent document deliveries in Nottingham City Centre. Now with a selection of energy efficient vehicles – including their bikes – they can arrange same day or next day deliveries nationwide. They’re also available for regular timed delivery slots and can offer your business a time- and energy-efficient service to meet your needs.
