Making Businesses Green The National Marketing Institute estimates that about 80 percent of consumers are engaged by green marketing at some level, with about 17 percent of consumers highly engaged. Customers, however, are particularly skeptical of many green claims; they know that businesses seek profit and aren’t above “greenwashing”. Recycling containers are symbols of your organization’s commitment to the community. Don’t just give the program lip service; really commit to it. The more you do, the more the public will believe your environmental initiative is a genuine symbol of your business’ mission rather than just a publicity stunt. Premier Sponsors
