” Sustainability is the single biggest business opportunity of the 21st century.” – Will Day, chairman of the UK’s Sustainable Development Commission

The Benefits of Green Credentials.

As sustainability and environmental policy continue to evolve, forming the biggest business opportunity of the 21st century, it is now a business imperative for companies to have credible green credentials.

The GreenBizCheck presentation aims to educate attendees on the importance for all companies, from micro businesses through to large multinationals, of achieving certifiable green credentials. The GreenBizCheck workshop will examine, how government, corporate and consumer pressure are influencing the criteria for procurement decisions, what credible green certification options are available and the differences between them, how to protect your rating and engage staff, how to communicate your green credentials with customers and suppliers and how credentials will affect your bottom line.

Attendees will view a Powerpoint presentation with case studies from Australian businesses exemplifying how green credentials were invaluable to their reputation and bottom line. After this workshop conference attendees will have enough information to know which organisations to approach for certification, guidelines to consider before, during and after the certification process and how to maximise their green credentials.
