A recent Envirowise survey displayed some surprising -
and alarming - results regarding business's readiness to take account of environmental awareness.
- A worrying 45% of respondents say they expect no change in the environmental awareness of their customers or clients in the near future.
- Only 11% say they are considering environmental issues as part of their ongoing business
- Only 15% of respondents in England, Scotland and Wales identified cost savings as a motivator
So is this a missed opportunity for many UK businesses?
According to Dr Martin Gibson, Envirowise Programme Director: "It is clear that those businesses who continue to do nothing, or believe they have already done all they can, are taking a significant risk with the future viability of their business as their competitors continue to take advantage of the major competitiveness and cost benefits of addressing their environmental efficiency."
