Brands
More than 70 percent of respondents to GreenFactor, a global green enterprise IT study said they
probably or definitely would increase their preference for a brands green products if they
were convinced of the positive impact on the environment and business. Almost 60 percent said
they would expect to pay a premium for green products.

A competing Building Certification
system from GBI/Green Globes
The Green Globes software tools and ratings/certification system are based on the recognized and
proven Green Globes assessment protocol, thus environmental impact is comprehensively assessedon a 1,000 point scale in multiple categories: Energy, Indoor Environment, Site Impact,
Water, Resources, Emissions, and Project/Environmental Management.
Green Globes is a revolutionary green building guidance and assessment program that integrates
a comprehensive environmental assessment protocol, software tools, qualified assessors with green
building expertise, and a rating/certification system. Together, this combination of tools and services
integrate to offer an effective, practical and affordable way to advance the overall environmental
performance and sustainability of buildings.

GHG Protocol Initiative
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the most widelyused international accounting tool for government and businessleaders to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas
emissions. The GHG Protocol, a decade-long partnership between theWorld Resources Institute and the World Business Council for SustainableDevelopment, is working with businesses, governments, and environmentalgroups around the world to build a new generation of credible and effectiveprograms for tackling climate change.

Conclusion: Where are we headed?
Environmental Compliance is gaining strengthand is now part of ones Market AccessStrategy
The Triple Bottom Line is becoming the norm:
Profit is good, but it must be accompanied bydoing good things with the environment, andprotecting people in the community
Each Company will need to step back, decide
what from the long list of items could betackled, and then tackle them
Look for ULs Environmental Stewardship Markin the near future
