Here are five techniques that companies are employing to decrease waste, conserve energy, and connect with environmentally concerned customer

Fremont, CA: Consumers are increasingly seeking environmentally friendly products. According to a survey, 33 percent of customers choose socially and ecologically sustainable firms, while 86percent of the market expects companies to be ecologically sensitive, according to Sustainable Brands.

Consequently, while searching for innovative growth ideas, optimizing business processes through eco-friendly business strategies and technologies may help businesses decrease the environmental impact while also increasing the business bottom line. Here are five techniques that companies are employing to decrease waste, conserve energy, and connect with environmentally concerned customers.

• Using Smart Technologies in the Office

Companies are gaining an advantage thanks to smart technology. When a company gets occupied, automatic thermometers may maintain a constant temperature and reduce the temperature when there is no one. Motion sensors may be helpful to detect movement in the office and switch lights on whenever people move along.

• Being Aware of Energy Vampires

Large appliances don't often drive power consumption. The computer left on throughout the weekends, the refrigeration system humming away. At the same time, the touch screen display in the workplace is always on account of a large portion of the power consumed today. It's feasible to intentionally reduce this "vampire" burden by seeking technologies that may get placed on a timer. Smart power outlets that turn off once the plugged-in gadgets aren't in use can also be beneficial. Finally, don't undervalue the value of a well-designed training program. Reminding business employees to switch off lights when they leave the workplace or adopt power-saving settings can help reduce energy use.

• Shifting to Digital Signage

Businesses' perceptions of signs have shifted due to the use of new technology. In today's world of fast-changing creative marketing campaigns, digital signage is nimble and helps organizations stay dynamic. Projection is among the most adaptable and ecologically friendly solutions. Forecasts allow businesses to evolve existing in-store advertising and branding in an effective and environmentally responsible fashion, from brand-level marketing to products and designing marketing.
