Hawaii's Businesses Are Growing The Green Economy

VITEC Trainer, Andrea Dean at Computer
Sustainable Business or Green Business is certainly in the news- everywhere you turn there is another article on "green business tips" or "10 simple things you can do to green your business." Most businesses, however, do not know how to effectively integrate sustainable business or triple bottom line strategies into their businesses in a profitable way.
 
Hawaii's businesses people can learn more about becoming a part of Hawaii's green economy in a webinar entitled "The Triple Bottom Line Business- A Deeper Shade of Green", taught by Andrea Dean.  Green business coach and consultant Andrea Dean demystifies sustainable business and teaches the basics of integrating sustainability into overall business strategy.  The Triple Bottom Line Webinar is being held on June 18th & 25th,  from 9:30-11:30 am.
 
The Triple Bottom line approach challenges business to operate with sustainability at their core by focusing simultaneously on the three bottom lines of economic prosperity, environmental protection, and social equity. The three bottom lines in Triple Bottom Line are often shortened to People, Planet and Profits or People, Planet and Prosperity.

The class is for business owners and managers who want to explore or deepen their commitment to social and environmental practices in business. Topics covered in The Triple Bottom Line Business- A Deeper Shade of Green include: the national and local green business movement, defining green business, creating a triple bottom line strategy, short and long term green gains, examples of local and national green business success, and resources.
 
"People think that going green is just one more thing to do, but it is really a process that gets built into all levels of your operation," says Andrea Dean. "There is also a misconception that going green is expensive. Unless you have already conducted a thorough energy and resource audit, I guarantee that you are leaving money on the table."
 
Andrea Dean, MBA is a green business coach and consultant who works with clients that want to deepen or develop their long term commitment to green business. Andrea conducts workshops for companies who want to incorporate sustainability into their strategic planning; provides individual coaching, group and green team coaching for individuals and teams who want to achieve rapid results, and; conducts research and management for business projects with a green focus.
