The environment has suffered from the carbon footprint of businesses through the years. This topic was investigated by using multiple secondary data. The results indicate that in order to protect the environment, more businesses need to go green because green businesses have decreased the greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, going green has its challenges, such as the lack of knowledge and skills. Moreover, this report discusses some successful green businesses and their sustainable practices. No green business owner has been consulted in the preparation of this report. This could lead to the limitation of information and updated statistics. 3 Introduction The present report investigates the concept and benefits of Green Business. The main aim of the report is to show that Green Businesses are vital to preserve the environment. In particular, the report attempts to answer the following three questions: • How effective are Green Businesses to the environment? • What are sustainable challenges that Green Businesses might face? • What are some successful examples of Green Businesses? The report is organized as follows. First, the background section discusses what is a Green Business and why it is important. Then, the analysis section presents the data from three sources regarding several aspects of the topic at hand such as challenges that may occur while implementing sustainable measures and what positive outcomes that resulted after going green. The report ends with conclusions from the analysis and gives recommendations on how to address the issue. Background The purpose of this report is to analyze the concept and benefits of Green Business and examine the impacts it has on both the business, and the environment. Green Business also known as sustainable business, is a business that follows specific ways and strategies to minimize the negative outcomes and impacts on the environment (IBM institute, 2021). Green businesses aim to reduce environmental problems such as reducing emissions (which causes global warming) and resource depletion. The term "sustainable” first appeared in 1713 by Hans carl von Carlowitz, Jacobus (2007). However, businesses did not care about their footprint until late nineteenth century, Bergquist (2017). Later, people started to have more awareness regarding the dangers of damaging the environment. Sustainability's recent development has been noticeable all around the world. Big number of businesses started directing towards the sustainable or green route. They shifted routes after the occurrence of many 4 unfortunate business accidents that caused harm to the environment. Oil spillages and gas leaks are some examples of the countless accidents that happened. In addition, many natural disasters occurred at the same time, such as wildfires, hurricanes, and drought, Carollo (2005). Sustainability has become an important part of any business around the globe currently. Even though sustainable strategies might not be the main focus, many if not all businesses have included some of them in their business, Carollo (2005). 5 The concept and benefits of green/sustainable businesses is one of the most important topics to discuss in this time and age, because it directly affects our planet's well-being. Unlike green businesses, unsustainable businesses are known to cause enormous environmental issues. According to Impactday (2023), "They include resource depletion, pollution of air, water, and soil, habitat destruction, greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, and the loss of biodiversity”. Therefore, the environment is in dire need for help. If businesses keep on increasing their carbon footprint, the consequences will be threatening and dangerous, not only for the planet, but for all beings habituating it. Therefore, addressing and raising awareness regarding this serious issue is mandatory. This report's findings will interest most people, since it discusses an environmental topic that affects everyone. According to case (2023), people with higher educational degrees and higher salaries are more likely to be interested in sustainability. In addition, business owners who aim to protect the environment while carrying on with their business will be interested in this report. New business owners would benefit from this report to help them understand what a sustainable business is and what challenges it might face./n FULL TITLE of the REPORT Your Name, GUST ID Presented to Dr. Xxx Xxx ENGL 201 Business Writing Section X Date of Submission: Table of Contents Executive Summary..
