Global Warming Prevention for Businesses

Global Warming Prevention practices can improve a business's bottom line through reduced raw material and energy costs, treatment and disposal expenses, and associated labor costs. Many of these strategies, such as substituting toxic materials with safer alternatives, are simple and inexpensive.

Global Warming Prevention practices reduce or eliminate:

Treatment, disposal, and associated and labor costs
Wildlife and habitat damage
Property devaluation
Remediation costs
Civil and criminal fines
Permit fees
Insurance costs
Process disruption
Down time

Other key benefits when implementing these preventions include:

Enhanced Public Image. Consumers more favorably view businesses that adopt and practice global warming prevention strategies, and the marketing of these practices can increase profits.

Increased Productivity and Efficiency. Global Warming assessments help organizations identify opportunities to decrease raw material usage, eliminate unnecessary operations, increase throughput, reduce off-spec product generation, and improve yields.

Reduced Regulatory Burden. Improving environmental performance and reaching performance goals that go beyond compliance are ways to reduce regulatory burdens.

Decreased Liability. Handling hazardous and toxic materials brings high liability should an accident occur. Organizations that substitute toxic materials with safer alternatives reduce the liability and high costs associated with an unsafe environment.

Improved Environmental and Health Quality. Global Warming Prevention methods can help reduce the air, water, and land pollution that results from waste generation, treatment, and disposal, reduce worker and resident health risks and the environmental risks associated with pollutant emissions, and conserve natural resources and landfill space.
