Guy Francfort Vice President of MEGA Electronics was recently quoted in Medical Design Technology on the importance of going green.
Perspectives on Going Green, Part I
Everyone everywhere seems to be "going green" but is there real value in doing so or is it just a cliché term that gets thrown around far too often? In this month's Perspectives feature, industry leaders weigh in on how they perceive the value of the green movement and discuss the potential benefits and downside to device manufacturers considering it for their business.
Is “Going Green” the latest cliché buzz term or is it a truly valuable effort to be made by companies looking to stay competitive and environmentally friendly?
Guy Francfort
Vice President, Sales & Marketing, MEGA Electronics Inc.
Going Green is not just a catch word or phrase. Not only do we need to Go Green to meet national and state standards, we need to do this to improve our bottom line both financially and environmentally. Just as corporations that compete in a globalized business environment have limited resources, the world has limited resources as well.
As the world gets smaller, I think all responsible businesses realize that what we do in our own corner of the world has global impacts. One cell phone charger drawing power when not in use may not have much of an impact on the world economy, but according to the Washington Post’s estimate in July of 2006, there are more than 2.4 billion cell phone users - and more than 1,000 new customers are added every minute. It also projected that there would be three billion mobile phone subscribers by the end of 2007. How much energy can we save if each of those phones had a green power supply?
