Taking Your Company Into The Green Side Of Life

Julie Starr • April 2, 2022



The greener side of life is where everything is right now, or where everything wants to be. We have been warned time and time again about the impacts that we can have on the environment, and nobody has really listened until now. Some people and businesses have been trying to make changes, and if you’re not one of them, you really should be. It might be a lot simpler than you think though, so in this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you can do to take your company into the green side of life. Keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Reducing Waste

The first thing that we are going to look at is reducing the amount of waste that your business is producing. If you look at your processes right now, do you really need to produce this amount of waste? The answer is probably not, and some simple changes could make all the difference. You can look at some tips from someone like Jerome Clavel who looks into what is known as lean manufacturing.

The less waste you produce, the better for the entire world. We need to start working on using more of what we have got, and not wasting things that don’t need to be wasted. This is a big problem in companies right now , but it doesn’t have to be a problem in yours. 

If you do still produce the same amount of waste and you don’t want to change the way you are doing things, you could at least try your best to recycle as many materials as you can.

Alternative Energy Sources

Another thing that you can look into is alternative energy sources . There are plenty out there, but most of us rely on electricity because it’s the easiest and most convenient for us. However, some of these alternative sources are not only better for the environment, but also for your bank balance. Solar power for example might not be the cheapest thing to get set up, but it will more than pay for itself when the sun comes out as you won’t be paying a penny for power.

You can look into the different types of energy sources available and choose the one that you think is going to work out the best for you. This depends on what you use your energy for, how much you are going to need, and other factors. We’re not suggesting you completely get rid of electricity straight away but slowly use the alternative sources more until you no longer rely on it.

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you can do in order to take your company into the green side of life. It’s important for the Earth that you are trying your best to cater to the changing environment around us, trying to save it from the damage that we have done over the years. We wish you the very best of luck and hope that you manage to get this sorted.

Blockchain for Sustainability: Cutting Through the Hype with Strategic Communication

By Julie Starr • April 28, 2025
As blockchain continues to gain traction in sustainability circles—from tracking carbon credits to improving supply chain transparency—more organizations are exploring how these emerging tools might support their ESG goals. But with innovation comes complexity, and for many stakeholders, blockchain still feels like a black box. That’s where communication becomes essential. At Taiga Company, we work with clients to simplify complex sustainability narratives without oversimplifying the value. While blockchain can offer traceability and transparency, it’s not a silver bullet—and how you talk about these technologies matters just as much as how you use them. Poor communication can undermine credibility, especially in a landscape where stakeholders and regulators are increasingly alert to greenwashing . On the other hand, clear, honest messaging about blockchain-enabled sustainability efforts can build trust and differentiate your leadership. Our approach is grounded in materiality and alignment. We help organizations: Translate technical tools like blockchain into plain language that resonates with diverse audiences Connect new technologies to core sustainability strategy Craft credible narratives that evolve alongside innovation Blockchain may be new territory, but strategic communication remains the foundation. Whether you're piloting traceability tools or just starting to explore how blockchain fits your ESG roadmap, we help you tell the story with clarity and confidence. Let’s make innovation meaningful.

6 Things All Modern Businesses Need in 2025

By Julie Starr • April 22, 2025
If you’re starting your own business, then you know all too well that it’s equally an exciting and overwhelming time. There’s so much to think about, and you want to get it right from day one. But it doesn’t have to be as overwhelming as you might think. Let’s go through everything your new business needs to hit the ground running this year. A Clear Business Plan Before anything else, take the time to figure out your game plan. This doesn’t need to be a long, boring document that you’ll never look at again. Think of it as a simple guide that answers three key questions: Who are you selling to? What are you offering? And how are you going to get noticed? Once you’ve written that down, you can always tweak it as your business grows. From a communications standpoint, clarity on your audience and value proposition also sets the foundation for authentic brand storytelling—something Taiga Company helps clients refine at every stage. Responsible Financial Management Money is one of those things that can make or break a business. The good news is you don’t need a finance degree to get it right. Start with a simple budget. Know how much is coming in, what’s going out, and what you’re setting aside. Think about things like stock, marketing, bills and wages if you’re hiring. Keep it realistic and keep it updated. Doing this from day one will make life much easier later. Reliable Cloud Services In 2025, storing everything on your laptop isn’t really a safe bet. Files go missing, computers break, and you don’t want to lose important stuff. That’s where cloud services come in. They keep your files secure, backed up and easy to access from anywhere. Whether it’s documents, customer info or creative work, having it all saved online gives you peace of mind. And when you're building a business in a digital-first world, having secure, accessible assets also means your team can collaborate more efficiently across channels—essential for strong communications. Flexible Payment Options Most people don’t carry cash anymore, so if you’re only accepting it, you’re going to lose sales. Get yourself a card reader that takes all the usual stuff like debit cards, credit cards, contactless and Apple Pay. The easier you make it for someone to pay you, the more likely they are to buy. Simple as that. A Basic Website Even if you’re not selling online, you still need a website. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just something that tells people who you are, what you do, and how they can contact you. Think of your site as your digital front door. If someone hears about your business, chances are they’ll look you up online. Make sure what they find actually helps them. A clear website is also one of the most powerful communication tools your business has. We work with clients to ensure their digital presence reflects their story, purpose, and value. A Way to Spread the Word You can’t rely on people just stumbling across your business. You’ve got to put yourself out there. Social media is a great start, but don’t stop there. Think email newsletters , posters in your local area or even just chatting about your work whenever it comes up naturally. The more you talk about your business, the more others will too. Starting a business in 2025 is a big move, but it doesn’t have to feel impossible. Get the basics in place, stay flexible and keep learning. With the right tools and the right message, you can build momentum and create connection. Taiga Company helps growing businesses translate operational essentials into brand trust and long-term impact.
