2009 Pro Team Survey Results

Over 50 professional teams participated in our second annual survey of sustainability practices conducted in September, 2009.  The results reveal that while the current economic conditions have caused about a third of professional teams to curtail at least some of their environmental plans and programs, the long term trends indicate an increasing focus on implementing sustainability initiatives:

- 60% of teams say their sustainability initiatives are a ‘high or “very high” priority.
- Over 90% of teams say their executive management have a positive perspective on developing a green business strategy.
- 80% of teams have formed or are actively considering forming an internal green team.
- 80% of teams expect the emphasis on environmental programs to be increasing in the future.
- Nearly 50% of teams have developed or are actively considering developing a sustainability plan with short and long-term goals.
- 25% of teams have a full-time employee dedicated to their green program or are actively considering adding a full-time green employee.
