Eco - efficiency

Eco-efficiency makes good business sense.

Being environmentally efficient can and does produce real cost and time savings. It produces positive relationships with clients and suppliers, as well as regulatory authorities. Reduction in the use of energy and the generation of waste are quantifiable cost savings for a business.

A business which promotes itself as ‘eco-friendly’, ‘sustainable’ or any other of these terms implies a commitment to environmental protection and thought about minimising the impacts of its business on the environment in which it operates. 
As a good social citizen it would be expected that in this time of ‘triple’ or ‘quadruple bottom line’ business principles, the environmental and social impacts of a business are just as important as the financial or safety aspects and need to be considered in the continuous improvement aspects of any systems thinking that are applied to ensure the efficient running of the business.
