Retailers See Green
A RECENT study by Five Winds International reveals that com- panies are increasingly willing to invest in environmentally friendly business practices be- cause they are cost effi cient. Using less power means smaller energy bills, and in the current economic climate, retailers are seeking out and implementing cost savings. In addition, some companies are pushing high profi le green products and op- erations, because they offer a certain public relations value and cachet. According to Convenience
Nickel-Free Hypoallergenic
Store News, a small retailer can cut lighting bills by 25 percent with the right lighting, such as replacing fl uorescent tubes with more energy effi cient T-5 lighting and LED lights. Other options include an HVAC audit, using sensors and timers to control lights, and installing program- mable thermostats. The news is not as promising on the products front. Yes, consumers are happy to buy green alternatives if they are not more expensive, but few will pay a premium. ■
