Best practices for green marketing

The push for companies to consume less energy and to produce less waste is only growing stronger. Marketing plays a critical role in this, because it can communicate with customers about the breadth of a company’s sustainability and green efforts.

Feeling good about being green is insufficient to the task, especially when selling to sophisticated procurement organizations.

This brief article outlines several best practices for marketing green products, and then highlights a few of these practices in action at A.O. Smith and Eaton.

Why re-invent the wheel?

Members of the MAPI Human Resources Council are actively sharing their companies' policies, procedures, and programs with fellow members. The MAPI HR Council website provides an opportunity to view and download a number of shared documents, including:

· Records Management Policies

· Employment References Policies

· Tuition Reimbursement Policies

MAPI membership provides an opportunity to easily see ‘what others are doing’, from basic policies to strategic HR programs. The combination of meetings, surveys, and sharing provide HR Council members practical and tangible take-aways…without draining time or resources.
