- Sally-Jayne Wright shares 10 ways to make your business greener
1 Keep open fridges and freezers well stocked; this prevents the cold air ‘falling’ out and being replaced with warmer air that then must be chilled. Better still, get fridge doors
2 Keep the lights in fridges off until they’re needed in the evenings
3 Pull the covers down on open drinks chillers as you close up each night
4 Keep fridges and freezers efficient by servicing and defrosting regularly
5 Switch empty, back-up freezers off
6 Consider motion-detecting and sensor-activated lighting and plumbing for loos, store rooms and shop display cabinets. Time display units to light up after dark so they don’t waste energy during the day
7 Shut cash registers, computers and other devices off every night
8 Optimise natural light by installing skylights or sun pipes
9 You don’t need bright lighting everywhere, for example, in warehouses or areas near windows
10 Recycle everything you can and reuse display materials
