What Is A Green Company?

In this time of rapidly increasing change to a greener economy and workplace, the definition and interpretations we’ve read leads us to suggest this remains quite broad. However, to give some guidelines to this term we suggest the following. A Green Company is one that is environmentally responsible with their impact on the environment (locally and globally) and its protection and preservation. It can be part of a green industry or through best “eco-friendly” practices. “Environmentally responsible” are the keywords here.

What is a Green Industry?

Green industries can be categorised as follows:

* Organic foods and consumer products
* Residential energy efficiency or solar power
