Outsourced, But Still Green
It's inevitable really. Companies are quickly jumping on the energy efficiency/low waste bandwagon. But what good is it if many business functions are taking place in less than ideal environmental conditions?
InvestmentNews reports that the green ethic is extending to outsourcing firms, but not necessarily by choice.
When choosing an outsourcing vendor and drawing up green contractual performance agreements, 97.4% of public companies demanded that outsourcing providers require environmental legal compliance, and 92.3% wanted outsourcers to demonstrate successful green strategies, the survey found.Good to know, though somewhat distressing to think that there's a 5 percent gap between the "demanders" and those requiring proof. I guess the brochure is proof enough?
