Leading by example is key. It doesn’t matter whether you are a small startup or a huge organization. Showing commitment to water conservation can encourage employees to follow suit. Consider undergoing a water conservation audit to capture current usage. Use the results to identify easy conservation options. Do another audit six months later to gauge the success of your efforts.
Company bathrooms provide a lot of conservation opportunities. Water-saving technologies, including sensor-based faucets and low-flow toilets, are a great way to reduce water usage. Be sure to also monitor for leaking faucets and toilets.
Use visual reminders to educate your teams about water conservation. Consider signage to help get the message across. Stickers in bathrooms or kitchens to turn off the tap can help conserve water.
Provide training opportunities for team members. Arm your team with the knowledge they need to create an office ‘green team’. They can be great allies to track water usage at your workplace and suggest improvements.
