Determine your ecological impact. Identify practices that require improvement. Set goals for improvement.
The first step in becoming a green business is understanding your business's current carbon and ecological footprint. Just as you can calculate your personal carbon footprint (for example, at http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/), you can also calculate how your company is impacting the environment.  In order to estimate the carbon footprint of your company (and to see how it compares to other companies within your sector), you will be required to provide information about your business, including information about your facilities, employees, travel, and procurement to an online website.  By knowing your carbon footprint, you can set goals for becoming carbon neutral. In order to become a green business, you will need to identify which of your business practices are in need of “greening.” For example, airline flights are one of the biggest causes of carbon emissions in the world. Is it possible for you to implement more efficient travel into your company's business plan? Decide what parts of your business you can reasonably make more “green”, and set out a strategy for improvement. You should set goals in regular increments; for example, where do you want your business to be in one year? Two years? Five years? Ten years? You should look to improve more and more with each passing year. Some of the practices that will make your company more green may conflict with your previous business practices. For example, you may be able to source a raw material for a product from a cheap overseas producer; however, in order to be green, you should look to see if you could source the material locally, even if it is more expensive. Realize that you may have to adjust your business strategy and/or budget when becoming a green business.
