Are you analyzing your marketing program as part of your organization's environmental policy? 

What is Sustainable Marketing?  Well, I'll tell you.

In short, sustainability means “closed-loop system” where one is as self-reliant as possible.  This is not only applicable with land and facilities use, eco-preservation and environmentally-friendly practices, but also in minimizing one’s reliance on outside assistance such as water, energy, or products while MAXIMIZING an organization's most valuable assets:  your staff! 

Most importantly, the practice of managing the organization’s finances in a sustainable way is the most integral part of a sustainability agenda.

Consider the sustainability cycle of a plant.  So too is the financial responsibility of incorporating a sustainability agenda through your marketing platform.  Outbound Marketing, relying on paper product distribution, adds thousands to company spending each year -- and thousands of pounds of garbage

Each one small step of investments (time or money) should yield a return that further perpetuates your company's self-regeneration.

View your investment in marketing as a “closed-loop system” or in different terms, every step of your customer growth and sales are  domino pieces that should be strategically placed to generate operational income, efficient investments of staff time, and environmental preservation for your marketing your next growth phase.
