Firms find it pays to go green – Three Utah companies are setting the standard

"Green business" might strike some as an oxymoron, but changing business practices to tread softly on the earth has become an imperative of the environmental movement and corporations are learning to participate in rather than impede the process.

Many realize implementing environmental initiatives can improve their profitability by reducing energy use and waste. Plus there’s a growing consumer demand, both from shoppers and from other companies, for environmentally responsible products.

In Utah, three manufacturing companies have redesigned their processes to use less materials, water and energy and produce less waste and pollution. Autoliv, Varian Medical Systems and La-Z-Boy have implemented environmental management systems that require the companies to go beyond compliance with state and federal environmental regulations to minimize their environmental impacts.
