What can your business or workplace do?

Businesses will benefit from reducing their environmental impact and being more sustainable by:

• making cost savings from using resources more efficiently, such as cutting energy, water use and waste.
• accessing new markets by developing sustainable products and services.
• protecting reputation and credibility.
• being prepared for future changes and policies.
• attracting staff and improving morale – having a strong ethos of sustainability is increasingly important to employees.
