    About Green Briefs
    This series of bi-monthly briefings, organized by the Green Committee of the SR Chamber, is designed for small-medium sized businesses (under 200 employees, but relevant for large organizations also). Its purpose is to inform, promote and activate organizations with high performance sustainability strategies. The practices, tools and resources will address the top areas where businesses can save money, enhance their reputation, gain new customers, improve their suppliers’ sustainability performance, and manifest their environmental and social values, while building the value of their businesses.
     
    The focus of the 2015 five-part series is on practical applications with a bottom line impact. Each briefing will include experts in the field, examples of companies who are having success today, and sources on how organizations can implement the recommendations and take advantage of the savings and revenue-building results.
