Green Exchange sets an example for companies greening up and saving money
Chicago’s Green Exchange was featured on a high-profile list of “favorite ways companies today are greening up-and saving money” on Be More Eco’s website. In the Mar. 23, 2009 article “Sick of being green washed? (Part one) 10 Ways to Green Your Business,” Mark Borden puts Green Exchange at number seven. Green Exchange is a network “sprouting” in an old lamp factory in Chicago, reserved exclusively for green companies. As the country’s first green business community, the development aims to foster the exchange of ideas for sustainable living. The building is currently 40% leased and plans to open in the Fall. Tenants include an electric-car dealer, energy consultants and a green pet-supply store.
Other companies on this list making green choices include: General Mills, General Electric, Tesco, Wal-Mart, Timberland, Dyson, and JP Morgan Chase.
