An interesting week has ended.

As for the entrepreneur course, this week we’ve learned about economy, budget, taxes but also about the responsibility we have as entrepreneurs (and humans) to the environment. More precisely CSR=Corporate Social Responsibility.

It’s about what we can do as entrepreneurs to help our environment to ease the global warming and help our fellow human beings. I believe that it’s every mans responsibility to do some of these small things, so generations after us can enjoy this planet as we do and so we can live in a harmonic world.

What can you do for the environment?

These are some of the stuff corporations and civilians can do to help our planet and generations after us:

environment:
*Climate compensate.
*Alternative energy.
*Iso certificate your business.
*Electronic invoices and papers (e-mail).
*Clean vehicle.
*Separate at source (garbage, paper, metal and toxic waste)
*Choose train or bus instead of car. If possible take the bike to your work.
*If you have to go by car, make sure that you car-pool with employees or colleagues.
*Take a course in echo driving which cuts emission.
*Make sure tire pressure is correct, this cuts fuel costs and emission.
*Use energy lamps.
*Use energy effective machines.
*Lower the temperature 1 Celsius and this will cut 5% of the energy costs, it also helps the environment.
*Use an electric cattle when you boil water, this can cut the energy cost for heating water by 50%. If you boil water on your cooker, make sure the kettle has a lid.
*Don’t use stand by mode on TV, radio and computers. Plug them out or install a switch so you can cut the power. These devices uses the electricity even if they are in stand by mode.
*Turn of all lights when you leave home, you don’t need the light when you’re gone.
*Buy locally produced food and inventory if possible.

Ethical:
*Ethic right from purchaser and reseller. Products produced by staff that have both human rights and good working conditions.

Social:
*Gender equality.
*Voltaire work, nonprofit helps our social environment. Donate part of profit to nonprofit organizations.
