DRAFT: Business Sustainability in Lexington Survey

Sustainable Business Survey- Lexington, MA

This survey hopes to capture your thoughts on sustainable business practices. We value your input and would like to better understand your level of interest in sustainability.

Implementing sustainable practices can be beneficial not just for the community in social terms but also for the local economy and environment. Sustainable business practices can also help reduce costs and provide a unique selling point for your business, compared to your competition.

Recent studies have also shown that retail consumers and corporate buyers are leaning more towards businesses that are environmentally conscious. Not only does it attract customers, it can also improve the well-being of your employees.

This survey takes just 5 minutes. Your responses are very important to us. They will remain confidential.
