SWEET Benefits

Think of it as a green wellness program. Geared toward internal audiences, our benefits program empowers your employees to green their own homes and lives—and you get to take credit for it. A corporate membership in our Benefits program provides:

  • your employees with 10% discounts on most products when they shop at Amicus
  • access to exclusive volume pricing for corporate purchases of products to distribute to your employees
  • workplace collateral, outreach, educational materials, and web materials to promote the program
  • up to two seasonal on-site workshops to teach, engage, and inspire your employees on the principles, practices, and products of greening up (some restrictions apply)
  • a free CFL recycling station to make it easier for employees to safely recycle their old CFL light bulbs
 

SWEET Rewards

Geared toward external audiences, our customizable Rewards program provides incentives and a marketing platform to attract new customers and reward existing clients, under the banner of “green” criteria.

  • Offer customers free ‘green' products as promotions and incentives
  • Link little actions (such as using energy saving products) with larger ones (such as opening a savings account to grow those energy savings)
  • Use your storefront as a promotional stage
  • We'll provide marketing ideas, collateral, labeling, education, and cross-promotional opportunities
 
   

SWEET @Work

Geared toward your internal operations, the @Work program can help to green up your procurement and supply chain operations. From your light bulbs to your power supply, furniture to kitchen supplies, there are many ways for your organization to reduce its energy expenditures and carbon footprint, improve the health and performance of your staff, and to turn green into an asset.

Amicus provides:

  • A sole-source supply for capital projects, build-outs, and building maintenance
  • Advisory support to determine the optimal strategies, designs, and processes for greening facilities and operations
  • On-location labeling and information that engages customers and employees about the features of the buildings they visit, work in, and play in—and inspires them to make similar actions at home. This, of course, linx nicely with your SWEET Benefits and SWEET Rewards programs.
