All companies should be aware of how they affect the environment, not just to be ‘green’ but
to gain real business benefits. All sizes, all sectors – it is relevant and will benefit you.
You need to know that you are complying with the host of environmental legislation (risk of fines or imprisonment).
You should know where you are wasting resources. Improving efficiency will reduce wastage and save
money – the bank manager will thank you!
Your customers may be insisting upon it – many large companies ask their suppliers to have
an Environmental Policy, plus the public want to know about how products affect the planet.
Insurance companies, banks, government and local councils are increasingly interested.
You can save money and increase profitability - most companies can easily
reduce their energy costs by up to 20%, even without serious investment. This could be same effect on your bottom line as
a 5% increase in sales.
Some examples of savings arising from single actions, in companies of any
size:
-
A
small pub saved £520 or 80% of its lighting bill, just by changing the type of bulbs used
-
A
hotel saved £176 from its water bill with just one simple measure with its toilets
-
An
extensive office saved £4,680 in waste costs by easy recycling and waste minimisation
-
A
large organisation saved nearly £30,000 by changing its electricity supplier
-
A
homeworker reduced their gas bills by £150 or 10% a year by installing loft insulation
-
A
council saved £18,000 in 2 years by reducing car business trips.
With energy and fuel prices continuing to increase, you are just pouring your
profits down the drain. ESHCon can help you now.
