Sustainable Business Practices in the “Tangible World”

The game: Bearing witness that a shift to sustainable practices can profit the business world (beyond the obvious environmental gains!)

The toying field: West End BIA’s Sustainability Expo on June 26th.

The players:

Gil Yaron, founder and CEO of Frogfile Office Essentials led off his company in 2006 because as he alleges, there were lots of confabing firms training businesses to borrow more sustainable practices, but there was no real way for people to watch over their suggestions. “Not to observe the fact that I have a passion for bull clips”, he jests.

Denise Taschereau is the co-founder of Fairware , a company dedicated to catering ethically-sourced and sustainable promotional products for businesses and organizations. Having worked for years as the Director of Sustainability and Community for the Mountain Equipment Co-op , Denise reads intimately the power of business to make change.

Maureen Cureton, Vancity ’s Dark-green Business Advisor, works with both the non-profit and business sectors to serve them create sustainable advances. Vancity, a sustainability leader itself, typeset its goal to be carbon-impersonal by 2008. They are "taking the air the talk" with programs in place to scale down waste and energy consumption within their organization, and better their societal and environmental performance.

Among the many examples each speaker chiped in as reasons to address sustainable business practices, these four remained firm out above all else…and I don”t think it’s hard to see why.
