Spokesperson, Ana-Maria Valente, says that 2015 is the year that will drive organisations, big and small, urban or rural, more than ever, to join the worldwide movement promoting better eco-efficiency.
"People at workplaces need to feel the importance of their role in making a difference. The top bosses all know about good governance and sustainability and follow world summits like DAVOS where "green" matters are top of the Agenda. But workers on the ground, need to understand and value what green-friendly means to them," says Valente.
"Every individual at work should feel empowered to make suggestions and promote ideas that lead to savings, whether of key resources such as water and electricity, or reducing waste at every level. No act is too small to be considered unimportant if it leads to recycling, reducing and reusing items or equipment. Our Green Goodwill Campaign offers a unique opportunity for everyone to easily involve themselves in contributing to savings in their office or department’s budgets, and making valuable inputs to be more eco-friendly."
GOW’s 2015 Green Goodwill Campaign invites all working citizens nationwide to participate. Participation can be at various levels, and GOW makes it easy by providing all the necessary information and templates explaining how the Green Goodwill Charter works as well as how one can volunteer to be a Green Goodwill Ambassador.
Increasing green credentials is good for business and good for the planet’s survival. GOW’s Green Goodwill Campaign gives everyone the opportunity to do good and be seen to do good.
