What Does a Green Bottom Line Look Like?

To survive in business, a company has to ultimately focus its attention on the color of the bottom line.   For each organization, the factors that determine how far into the traditionally viewed ‘red’ (negative) or ‘black’ (positive) have been very different.  However, what happens when the bottom line goal becomes ‘green’?    The direct impact of cost to the bottom line is currently the most common area of concern for our business sustainability clients, and it is, in fact, the easiest entry point for most business sustainability discussion.  For heavily burdened industries, sustainable action to reduce cost becomes a very tangible effort that can move a business quickly out of the ‘red’.  Business sustainability actions might include:   •    Decrease cost by mitigating rising energy prices and reduced energy consumption.   •    Decrease cost through more controlled waste streams.   •    Decrease cost through more efficient supply and distribution.   For others, the bottom line may be more easily addressed by an increase of the top line.  In this case, the driving focus will be tangible top line action to increase product value, drive consumer interest, boost current sales, or expand into new markets.  Click here to read more of what a green bottom line looks like.
