Environmental Sustainability for Businesses

Being environmentally friendly is not a new concept, but for many of us, conserving energy and using it more responsibility, has become REAL in recent years. The increasing costs of electricity and other resources have a direct effect on the bottom line of businesses.

At the most recent SBA Networking Session hosted at the Simon’s Town Country Club in July 2013, Kim Kruyshaar of “Green Audits into Action” shared her expertise on environmental auditing with local businesses. Kim recommended businesses support each other and tap into each other’s resources for a more sustainable Simon’s Town.

Business or homeowners can do a “DIY First-Party Audit” to get a basic understanding of how much energy is being consumed, where and at what price. Kim can be contacted at kim@greenaudits.co.za for more information and for audit sheets to use in a self-audit.
