Keeping Business Green and Growing

As climate change and resource depletion are becoming hotter topics on the global agenda, Translation Services Provider Lingo24 believes having a strong environmental policy is a vital responsibility for any type of business. Whereas some believe sustainability is a costly effort and can stand in the way of maximising profit, Lingo24 shows that caring for the environment and business growth can go hand in hand.

With six years of experience in managing an e-business that started from scratch and has achieved over £2 million in turnover, Lingo24 founder and Managing Director Christian Arno believes a healthy environmental policy is an intrinsic ingredient of business development.

“The best part is that while saving the planet, you also save a lot of costs”, says Arno. “Plus, having a strong set of green values proves to be greatly appreciated by many of our biggest clients and helps us maintain a good image inside the industry, which is a key to generating more business”, he adds.
