the environment. But I propose to go around the canton

What is an eco-friendly brand?

A new eco-friendly era is rising, and it is reaching every corner of the world.
Organisations of all sizes are quickly discovering that today’s consumers want more
than just the right products and services. Your clients want to feel as though they are
spending their money on a brand they can feel good about. As a result, the top eco-
friendly companies are currently the ones with the most marketplace power.

More than 90% of today’s CEO’s believe that sustainability is essential to success.
As consumer groups continue to publish studies about the rising demand for more
environmentally-friendly practices in business, it is easy to see why green initiates
are becoming so important.
Eco-friendly brands are the companies that recognise some of the biggest threats
facing our planet and know how to come up with unique ways of overcoming those
issues. These organisations do not just use recycled packaging or turn their
thermostats down during the winter. Many of the most eco-friendly brands are also
investing in new initiatives that change the way they operate on a fundamental level.
Look at Seventh Generation, for instance. This cleaning-product company
transformed the cleaning industry with products that completely eliminate the harmful
toxins and chemicals that other businesses in the sector have relied on for decades.
To become one of the world’s most socially
conscious brands, the business had to start from scratch and find their own unique
formula for cleaning. However, the results of the company’s hard work were
significant. Seventh Generation recently topped Forbes’ annual “Best for the
Environment” list.
The trend is spreading to the business leaders of tomorrow, too. Around 88% of
business school students say that they think social and
environmental issues are crucial to business branding. Additionally, more first-time
entrepreneurs are basing their USPs and points of differentiation on environmental
protection.
