We’ve always put the environment first in every aspect of our business, but now it’s official! On November 3, 2009 Banana Creative was recognized as a Bay Area Green Business. The Green Business Program verifies that businesses meet higher standards of environmental performance.

This includes general actions like:

buying only recycled paper
printing/copying on both sides of the paper
cleaning with less toxic products
using efficient lighting systems to save energy
recycling office paper and ink/toner cartridges
conserving water

And more specific, business-related actions like:

eliminating, redesigning or using online forms
designing materials that incorporate a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste
designing materials that minimize paper waste
designing materials that eliminate the use of envelopes
designing materials that are produced and manufactured in the U.S.
designing matierials that are produced from renewable resources
working with other green businesses

Even though a lot of the requirements had already been implemented, this certification was no small feat. In fact, to qualify, Banana Creative was required to implement over 89 initiatives. But, what’s good for the environment, is good for business! And, we are excited to incorporate and share our greener way of doing business with you.
