EnviroSelect
EnviroSelect are facilitating a shift toward green consumer and business action.
Project Overview
In 2007, EnviroSelect began as a SIFE project designed to become a catalyst for environmental change through facilitating consumers’ and businesses’ understanding about environmental issues and its economic benefits.
EnviroSelect have created a ‘mark of recognition’ that is awarded to small businesses that demonstrate environmental improvements in daily practices. In order to gain the mark, businesses must successfully complete the EnviroSelect program which involves implementing 22 core recommendations, and a further 2 recommendations tailored to each individual business. These recommendations aim to help the business save money and to increase its environmental efficiency. This way, businesses save money and environmentally conscious consumers are able to identify ‘green’ businesses.
Today, EnviroSelect is an independent not-for-profit organisation. To date, 10 small businesses have been EnviroSelected. These small business have not only saved significantly reduced operating expenses, they have also seen consumers actively change their behaviour. Most notably, many customers are now bringing their own mugs or buying EnviroSelect reusable Keep Cups to reduce waste.
EnviroSelect intends to continue facilitating this shift toward green consumerism and ethical business action.
