Resource Smart Business Program: Work Smarter, Not Harder
Recognizing Resource Smart Businesses
Renae Marie 

Level of Certification: Going Beyond
 
Renae Marie is the very first RSBP business to make it to the "Going Beyond" level of Resource Smart Certification. Thank you Renae Marie for being a true leader in this community!

Improvements Made:

Renae Marie made energy efficiency improvements including changing their lighting system to LEDs, installing weather stripping on the front door, and insulating their water heater. 

 

Worksite wellness was improved by bringing in a yoga teacher to teach stress relief practices, providing a wellness package to staff that aligns with personal interests and needs, taking staff out bi-monthly to promote bonding and healthy eating, and providing healthy snacks for employees at work.

 

Sustainability was improved by creating a new green business mission statement, carrying eco-friendly products, creating "The Box of Gratitude" for employee recognition, and re-purposing salvaged doors and wood to make display tables. 

 

These changes equate to an estimated $1,370 saved per year, with a return on investment of 0.1 years (after RSBP and LPEA rebates). These actions will also reduce over 25,000 pounds of greenhouse gases a year!
