How SMBs can get started on their sustainability journey
Sustainability measures don’t necessarily have to be expensive or resource-intensive. If you are keen to implement sustainable practices and are not sure how to begin, you can start with some simple steps.
For example, one of the most basic measures to adopt is to go paperless. Almost every aspect of running a business, from invoicing and payment to tracking inventory and employee engagement has a digital version today, especially in the form of third-party SaaS tools.
Even communication and collaboration between team members can be carried out completely digitally with the use of tools like Microsoft 365 Business and Google Workspace, which allow users to view, edit and share files in real time.
Remote and hybrid work are becoming more popular among employees, and SMBs can also make full use of tools like Teams UC Direct Connect to keep their on-site and remote employees in sync. This will in turn help reduce travel, overseas flights and minimise their carbon footprint.
