Whats the Point  Living Proof  How to do it
 Whats the point?
 You CAN cut costs, and contribute directly to your bottom line, by making better use of resources such as raw materials, energy and water.
 Why?
  • Reducing resource use brings immediate cost savings and increases profitability.
  • A 20% saving in energy consumption - easily achieved by many businesses - can have the same positive effect as a 5% increase in sales.
  • Water bills and effluent costs will be reduced.
  • Ineffective use of resources generates unnecessary waste which must be disposed of.
 Extra benefit to your company
  • You will boost your commercial reputation.
  • By 'thinking green' your business will become more attractive to customers.
  • More and more investors also favour 'sustainable' companies or organisations.
  • You will be ready for the legislative challenges of the future.
