ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The NACS Green Toolkit, a global guide to implementing a green and sustainable convenience store, is now available for purchase.

Introduced at the NACS Show this October, the NACS Green Toolkit is designed to help convenience and petroleum retailers become more environmentally responsible, cut expenses, increase efficiency and optimize their operations. Through case studies and best practices, the toolkit explores what domestic and international retailers, such as Tesco, Rutter’s Farm Stores, Musgrave Retail Partners, Budgens Crouch End, Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes and Giant Eagle, are doing today to create a green business plan.

The NACS Green Toolkit, produced in a CD-ROM format (order number 40080000), is available to NACS member companies for $95 ($995 for non-members). Orders can be placed online at www.nacsonline.com or by calling (800) 966-6227.
