Having your documents scanned and digitized is an obvious first step for any business or office looking to go green.
In some cases, it’s the biggest step of all.
Of course, when looking at the large corporations of the world, they have a multitude of ways they can change their methods of doing business, and these can have an effect in two ways.
One, the literal reduction of their carbon imprint is significant when you’re talking about a company like Walmart, which heads this list of America’s greenest companies. (Others in the top ten include Whole Foods, Dell, Johnson & Johnson, Cisco Systems and Starbucks.)
The other effect a large company going green can have is by setting a trend. Especially when a “trendy” entity like Starbucks makes a change in their energy consumption, it can cause others to follow that lead.
In any case, the list of green companies is interesting, and hopefully makes you want to look through your business and see what you can do.
