Small businesses make a lot of mistakes along the way to becoming a finely oiled machine. Once you make the mistakes and learn from them, you can expand and grow very rapidly as things start to fall into place. It’s entirely right to focus on the bigger problems at hand such as transportation efficiency to your warehouses and distribution to all your customers and indeed partnerships.
When it comes to environmental concerns, good corporate social responsibility is a must these days. No longer just ‘greenwash’, having solid policies and practices in place around sustainability is just good business sense. Not only can going greener lower operational costs and increase your businesses’ profit margin, it can also win you a great reputation and more trade with clients, boost staff morale and make you a more attractive employer to the brightest and best talent.
