It’s clear that the business sector has a major role to play in helping to protect the environment, and governments worldwide are encouraging businesses to “do their bit” to achieve goals on sustainable consumption and production, and corporate responsibility.

So while Christmas is often seen as a time of excess and commercial gain, one company is making it possible for others to curb spending, help the environment and still keep the spirit of Christmas alive. Wishawish.com is having Christmas in July in 2006 and offering others the opportunity for further savings on their already economical corporate ecards for businesses that buy their ecards before the end of August.

Wishawish.com’s unique service doesn’t cost the earth. The corporate ecards are customisable at a fraction of the cost of a bespoke card.

And the benefits of sending a Wishawish.com ecard don’t stop there. The cards:

Are Eco-friendly as they reduce the waste associated with huge volumes of printed greeting cards, not to mention saving paper, trees and fuel. And they also help reduce carbon emissions because every ecard is powered by 100% renewable energy hosting.
