Want to Save Your Business Money? Learn about a new program from Furman University
Furman University's Center for Corporate and Professional Development, in collaboration with the City of Greenville, is introducing a new corporate sustainability program which can help businesses lower operational costs in the areas of energy, water and waste management while also positively impacting the community. BESTsm, which stands for Businesses Engaged in Sustainability for Tomorrow, uses an online process to allow organizations to easily identify, benchmark and reduce their operating costs through a simple, intuitive process that collects data and provides specific recommendations tied to business types and associated activities.
BEST also provides a custom dashboard specific to each organization with detailed reports, snapshots and access to additional information on an on-going basis. Many of the recommendations generated through BEST have no cost associated with them, while other recommendations are tied to low-cost or capital investment solutions. The program will also provide calculations that allow businesses to estimate savings upfront, as well as monthly customized reports for each organization.
Cost for the program is $99 annually, which covers the seminar or webinar, BEST assessment tool and plan creation, ongoing monthly reports, and a detailed company BEST webpage. For more information about BEST, please contact Dr. Brad Bechtold at (864) 294-3136 or by email at brad.bechtold@furman.edu or visit our website at www.furmanbest.biz.
