This doesn\u2019t only go for global companies such as Amazon, Google and Facebook but smaller independent businesses too.<\/p>\n<p>After reading the report, we at Boiler Guide decided to take a look at our own impact on the environment and how our service can help your company grow in an environmentally-friendly manner.<\/p>\n<h2>Boiler Guide and the Environment<\/h2>\n<p>At Boiler Guide, we\u2019re constantly researching, writing and sharing articles about the latest energy efficient developments in the heating industry, from boilers and solar panels to renewable energy sources. These articles, that we publish on our Boiler Guide, Solar Guide and Windows Guide websites, all help to encourage homeowners and businesses across the UK to install a more efficient heating system.<\/p>\n<p>Any visitors that are interested in installing a new heating system, solar panels or windows, pass through an online form, providing details of the work that they require. Once they\u2019ve completed the form, their job becomes a lead and once we\u2019ve telephone-qualified it, the lead will be made available for a maximum of 3 installers to buy.<\/p>\n<p>You only pay for the leads you want and will get access to the customer\u2019s contact details straightaway. Plus, there are no hidden fees whatsoever. Sign up today for free to take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boilerguide.co.uk\/trade\/boiler-heating-leads\/\">heating leads<\/a> currently available in your area.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"row cta-banner text-center \"><div class=\"col-12\"><h4 class=\"font-bold\">Does your business need more sales?<br \/>\nTry our lead buying platform today<\/h4><p class=\"pt-3 mt-4\"><a class=\"btn btn-success btn-fixed text-decoration-none font-bold py-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dashboard.boilerguide.co.uk\/register\"  target=\"_self\" >Try Us Today<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nIn terms of running our business as efficiently as possible on a daily basis, in 2018 we added a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boilerguide.co.uk\/trade\/how-the-cycle-to-work-scheme-can-benefit-your-business\/\">Cycle to Work scheme<\/a> to our list of company benefits. We\u2019re passionate about not only encouraging our employees to travel to work as efficiently as possible but supporting them on that journey too.<\/p>\n<p>Since making a Cycle to Work scheme available to everyone at Boiler Guide, we\u2019ve seen the car park empty and the bike rack fill up. Not only great for the environment but the physical and mental health of everyone working to generate leads every single day.<\/p>\n<p>We also make it easy for everyone to recycle, and while this might not sound like the most revolutionary step in making our business more environmentally aware, every little helps.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Your Company More Energy Efficient<\/h2>\n<p>Making your business more environmentally aware won\u2019t help to reduce your carbon footprint but could also improve your brand image.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t hesitate to spread the word of how your business has gone green on social media to let current and potential customers know that you\u2019re environmentally aware. If a potential customer has to choose between you and another company, they might be more inclined to go with the one that has an eye on their environmental impact so it\u2019s worth bearing in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few simple ideas to get you started on the path to making your business more green:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recycle<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the easiest ways you can help the environment is by recycling. Put a recycling bin next to the normal bin with a list of everything that can be recycled<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encourage alternative transport<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to getting to work, there are many suggestions you can make to your employees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promote lift sharing<\/li>\n<li>Encourage use of public transport<\/li>\n<li>Introduce a Cycle to Work scheme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Go paper free<\/strong><br \/>\nIn an increasingly digital world, it\u2019s easier than ever to make your company paper free. Rather than promoting your company with flyers, you can purchase our high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boilerguide.co.uk\/trade\/boiler-heating-leads\/\">sales leads<\/a> online and then contact the customer over the phone &#8211; kind on the environment and an easy way to grow your business.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row cta-banner text-center \"><div class=\"col-12\"><h4 class=\"font-bold\">Does your business need more sales?<br \/>\nTry our lead buying platform today<\/h4><p class=\"pt-3 mt-4\"><a class=\"btn btn-success btn-fixed text-decoration-none font-bold py-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dashboard.boilerguide.co.uk\/register\"  target=\"_self\" >Try Us Today<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Click Clean Report, published by Greenpeace, rates online companies based on how efficiently they operate.
