Captain Planet stands for saving the environment and doing what you can to “go green” (or else he beats you up), and that doesn’t necessarily mean driving a hybrid car and eating experimental food supplements that resemble alien-blood. Joining the green revolution can be as simple as building a sustainable and eco-friendly working environment.
Cape Town recently hosted the Green Building Convention at the CTICC, an international event attended by thousands of delegates who have some manner of responsibility or contribution to this global movement. The truth is that very few really understand the green environment and what the objectives behind it are.
To truly “go green” a company needs a comprehensive sustainability plan that critically accesses the organisation’s impacts and contains detailed implementations that aim to reduce these. It needs to look beyond investor relations, stock value and customer opinion.
Companies need to look at how they can reduce their impact far more holistically, and an excellent place to start is with their staff and their office designs. After all, productive staff is clearly better for a company’s carbon footprint than unproductive staff – and embracing this mindset can have a positive effect on work effectiveness.
Giant Leap specialises in redesigning and reinvigorating interior office spaces, helping to craft the working environment around your employees so that your office represents the company culture you and your staff want, and deserve, and Giant Leap is committed to the push for green and eco-friendly work spaces.
For a better understanding of this global initiative and to find out what you as the leader of your local business can do to become involved, you can contact Peter Townshend, MD of Know More, a division of the Giant Leap group for more insight.
