Embrace Sustainability & Prosper in 2025

A new year signifies a fresh start for your business. It’s the perfect time to refresh, reinvigorate, and re-establish your company as a thought leader. To achieve this, we recommend exploring how to lead with green initiatives in your business.
The good news? In 2025, going green is easier than ever.

Why Is Going Green a Smart Move in 2025?

Over 75% of consumers consider sustainability a key factor when shopping. Additionally, 62% of HR decision-makers have noted an increase in questions related to environmental sustainability.

Both job seekers and customers are crucial for your company’s commitment to helping the world stay green.

Businesses have already started committing to a greener future. According to Climate Bonds, 2024 was a standout year for sustainable finance volumes.

By exploring greener choices:

• Customers are more likely to buy
• Job seekers are more likely to join your team
• Investors are more inclined to support your company

Now that we’ve highlighted the benefits, let’s explore some key steps to ensure your business stands out to eco-conscious consumers, investors, and employees.

Greener Vehicles

Logistics is often the part of your business with the greatest environmental impact. Deliveries are where businesses struggle most to achieve carbon neutrality.

Experts predict that in 2025, leaders will focus more on net-zero supply chains, elevating green operations beyond individual companies. Organisations will enforce sustainable supply chains and make critical decisions about whether to work with companies that don’t prioritise these goals.

Businesses like Marks & Spencer are already paving the way with their Plan A: Our Planet initiative, aiming to be a net-zero business by 2040.

If you outsource logistics, ensure you choose an eco-friendly solution. Don’t hesitate to check their environmental objectives to ensure they align with yours.

The bottom line: customers care more about the entire carbon footprint of a product than vague claims on a website or social media. According to NielsonIQ, 77% of consumers will avoid a brand if it’s found guilty of greenwashing.

For the other side of your company, if you offer leases as part of your benefits package, consider investing in an EV fleet. While more expensive, this sends a clear message to potential employees and current team members that your company is committed to a green future.

Green Packaging

We must highlight the greener packaging options available for businesses of all sizes.
Metal packaging is ideal for the circular economy. It’s reusable, recyclable, and can be repurposed after its initial use. Choose from tinplate cans for candles and aluminium tins for cosmetic packaging.

To achieve a truly circular business model, ensure your packaging doesn’t end up in a landfill or add to your carbon footprint. Tin and aluminium packaging for your products are excellent ways to do this. They are also versatile enough for countless products.

Remember, packaging is just the beginning. Use the right eco-labels when branding your packaging for the ultimate green choice.

Beyond metal packaging, cardboard tubes are another popular choice for boxing cosmetics, food, and a wide range of other products. Our cardboard packaging is made from forest-friendly resources that do not contribute to deforestation issues globally.

Greener Waste

Investing in greener packaging will help your customers minimise landfill waste, but what about your business?

Encourage employees to reduce, recycle, and reuse throughout your business model. Set up recycling bins in the workplace with proper labelling. This might seem like a small step, but in the long term, it will contribute to a much greener brand image overall.

Greener Energy

While there are many small steps you can take to improve sustainability, the biggest leap is to use a green energy solution. This will lower your energy usage and reduce your bills. Solar panels used to be an expensive investment for small businesses, but they are now more affordable, and you can explore government subsidies. Switching to green energy will also lower your carbon emissions.

Green Technology

Consider using green tech in your business model. The most obvious examples are hardware such as computers, monitors, and projector systems. Choose tech with the right energy ratings. The better the rating, the less they will cost throughout the year.
The latest tech options for your business include AI. AI is incredibly useful for modern businesses, helping to create content quickly, develop data sets, explore predictive results, and improve customer support.

However, there is debate over whether the tech is worth the environmental challenges it creates. Training AI requires massive energy consumption for both production and disposal.

That said, there are ways to reduce the carbon footprint significantly. For instance, research whether the data centre running your AI software is powered by sustainable resources.

The more research you conduct, the easier it is to keep your business on the path to a greener future.
