Environmental costs

The growing importance of ethically aware business is plain for all to see – just have a look at some our sponsors to see what can be achieved.

But according to Envirowise: ‘Significantly, while 83% of South West companies say they view the environment as a “quite important” issue, in reality less than a third (32%) are actually taking practical action.’

Paul Gilbert, Envirowise regional manager for the South West, told the PRSD: ‘These results highlight a worrying divide between the growing influence of the environment and delays by business to implement practical action.

‘Not only could this “blinkered” approach impact on a company’s competitive position and reputation, but it also suggests they are missing out on the significant cost-saving potential of resource efficiency. ‘

To combat such environmental lethargy Envirowise suggests one of their free consultations, and to do little things, like printing both sides of the paper, for one. And to email your PRSD update to colleagues and friends – there’s no needed to print them out and pin them to notice boards – honest (that’s why RSS was invented).
