Green Business Trends

To celebrate Earth Day Sageworks recently released our first set of environmentally-friendly business data. As you can see, sales of recyclable materials have increased over 14% in 2008 despite the recession, and their profits have increased markedly, up 32% from 2007. It seems that going green is gaining popularity.
