You and your employees want the same thing: a healthy environment.

Imagine if you could work together to achieve that. You’d come out ahead, your staff would come out ahead. And the planet would be a better place.

Zerofootprint can help you engage with your employees on the issue that they have identified as their number one concern. When your company participates in the Zerofootprint Employers program, your people, whatever their positions, will be empowered to drive change both at work and at home.

What gets measured gets managed. This program puts into each employee’s hands a calculator to measure environmental footprint. The simple questions posed by the calculator extract a profile of the employee’s ecological impact. It will measure this “footprint” for both time spent on the job, and for time at home.

The result is a confidential data aggregate that paints a picture of your organization. What your employees do, how your company performs, how you can all improve.

Once you have the data, the opportunities unfold.

• When employees understand their environmental footprint, they can take steps towards change.
• As the profile of your corporate footprint emerges, you will find new areas to not only do the right thing environmentally but also to save money.
• As your team pulls together towards a common goal, employee morale will rise.
• When you understand in detail what your team needs and wants, you’ll be able to offer realistic, tailored incentive programs.
• Your community and the world as a whole will be better off.

As a reliable third party, Zerofootprint can guarantee confidentiality and privacy to your employees, which will assure the program’s credibility. By turning to Zerofootprint, you will be outsourcing all the data gathering and management. Not only will your employees’ privacy never be compromised, neither will your organization’s. We do, however, offer to compare your corporate profile anonymously with others’ industry-wide.

Now is the time to engage your employees around the environment. We can ship a virtual calculator to each of them, free of charge, to help them understand their own environmental footprint and help you show your own commitment to doing the right thing. If your organization would like engage in our reporting program, in which the information we collect is aggregated to produce a portrait of your environmental footprint, the cost of participation can be offset by the efficiencies that emerge in the course of the audit. Doing the right thing can pay for itself.
