Is your company one of them? Every year in conjunction with Earth Day, which takes place on April 22, we reach out and survey our customers in regards to their environmental management progress. 

Our findings this year shows a significant increase in attention to Green behaviors. “Think and Act Green” is clearly on the rise. 

More than half of respondents (56%) believe that their company has taken meaningful steps toward more Green behavior since last Earth Day. And this is good news – since a full 70% of respondents believe that companies, rather than employees, should take the lead in executing and promoting Green behaviors in the workplace. 

Reducing unnecessary travel also continues to be a primary Green tactic – 62% of respondents say that their employers have either issued companywide policies to reduce travel or asked managers to monitor travel needs more closely. 

A full 87% of workplace meetings held with others outside the office now are conducted virtually, by phone and web conference. “Acting virtual” is now becoming such a habit that 40% of meetings with people inside their own office are conducted virtually, by phone and web conference. 

It’s clear that the most effective Green behaviors are those that provide benefits to the people doing them as well as to the environment. When it comes to virtual meetings, people have embraced them as a way to manage both their work and personal life. This trend will grow and make for a more balanced work and life even as it produces a cleaner environment.
