Enigin Update - The World's Greenest Companies
NEWSWEEK released their Green Rankings list of companies and report that while governments are slow to act many corporations are already improving energy efficiency and implementing environmental measures.
The Green Rankings list shows how the top-ranked companies approach green projects with determination and with a long term view as it makes business sense, despite the current financial pressures.
Newsweek quotes Thomas Lyon, a Professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business “Big companies have decided that this is a long-term play.”
Newsweek comments that the highly ranked companies realise that waste cuts into profits, and that reducing wasted energy curbs greenhouse-gas emissions while bolstering the bottom line.
The example of the companies that put so much effort into energy efficiency and green measures should motivate many other corporations and SMEs to follow suit, for the same business reasons of protecting profits and the future. Enigin Distributors globally have the solutions from Enigin that commerce, industry and the public sector need to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and save money on ever rising energy bills.
“We don’t expect a clear-cut policy in the U.S. any time soon,” Mark Vachon, who leads the Ecomagination programme at General Electric, told Newsweek. “But that doesn’t mean we ought to put our pencils down. In fact, having business lead in this space might be exactly what we should do.”
