Going Green Business Survey

1. Welcome to the green business survey

 
This survey is being undertaken by the Carmel Green Initiative to capture your thoughts on sustainability. We value your input and would like to understand your level of interest in “going green”

Going green is good for business and our community. Sustainable business practices are proven to help reduce costs and can differentiate your business from your competition. Studies have shown that retail customers and corporate buyers prefer to buy from businesses that demonstrate environmentally conscious practices. And, according to Carbon Trust, businesses can attract and retain employees by involving them in green policies.

This survey should take just a few minutes of your time, and your responses are very important and confidential. Thanks for your time!
