3 Ways to Get Your Stakeholders Excited About Investing in Recycling

Recycling is not only good for the environment, but it’s also good for the bottom line. Stakeholders care about the bottom line. They want to know that their investments are protected and that the company will continue making profits for years to come. Here are 3 ways to convince stakeholders that recycling is good for the earth and their investment.

1) Recycling to attract more customers

A recent study conducted by Nielsen found that 55% of consumers are willing to pay more for products and services provided by companies that are committed to sustainability. What this means is that by investing in a recycling program, the potential for growth in sales will offset the extra cost to establish a recycling program in addition to the added potential profit.

2) Keep it clean for productivity

In a brick and mortar store, having a well-organized stock room is key to productivity. The longer it takes an employee to find a product in the stock room, the less time they are on the floor servicing customers and making money for the store. Having recycling equipment and recycling bins in the back room offers a way to keep the floor clear of debris. Not only does this make it more efficient, but it can also reduce accidents by removing trip hazards and creating a safer work environment.

3) Boost employee morale

Most people are environmentally conscious these days. When a company commits to sustainability, not only does it improve the image of the company for the customers, it also makes the employees feel good about the work they are doing. It gives them a sense of accomplishment to know that they are part of the effort to help build a cleaner and more efficient planet for future generations.

Convince your stakeholders that the need for recycling is good for profits. Recycling will increase consumer confidence, keeping a cleaner work environment, and boost employee morale.
