Companies are Cutting Costs by Implementing Green Treasury Strategies, according to Experia-Group.com Sponsored Survey

    HONG KONG, March 13, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Experia-Group.com , sponsor of first annual Going Green survey, found that approximately 80% of the more than 200 finance executives surveyed say green strategies or sustainability efforts have saved or are expected to save their company money.

Approximately 79% of these executives expected to see increased efficiencies if they were to shift to a completely green treasury operation. Certain green strategies are quite popular, including converting paper-based treasury processes to electronic transactions, which was cited by 71% of participants.

While the Go Green survey identifies several successes in establishing corporate green strategies, businesses still have a ways to go. Only 31% say their company has assessed its carbon footprint. In addition, only 37% say their company's environmental strategy is integrated in its business plan, and a mere 20% have factored climate change into business sustainability plans. Less than half say their company has formal environmental policies or sustainability programs.

"Migrating to electronic Treasury processes can have a measurable impact on a corporation's carbon footprint as large treasury operations can easily generate 5.5 tons of paper each year-the equivalent of 143 trees and 106 tons of greenhouse gasses," said Susan Kequiang, managing director, Experia Management Group Investment Services. "We sponsored this survey to highlight the benefits of establishing a completely green treasury and help bring greater focus to what role finance executives can take in improving corporate sustainability efforts."

"In addition to environmental concerns, today's economic climate is making it even more essential for treasury departments to go green," observed Gregory Zhuolin, Vice President, Experia Management Group Treasury Services."
