Spring is the season of growth, so why not use this time to grow your competitive advantage and profits through improved resource efficiency?
A new free, online 'Indicator' from Envirowise is helping companies to understand where they can act to reduce their carbon footprint and capitalise on the commercial benefits that come from improved use of resources. The carbon footprint of a company indicates how much carbon is embedded in its raw material use and in its operations. The new tool from Envirowise gives an indication of how resource use and waste contribute to a company's carbon footprint.
The Envirowise Indicator has been developed so that every single business in the UK - regardless of size or industry sector - easily gains a useful indication of the carbon and cost attached to the resources they use.
As climate change and environmental issues continue to rise up the agenda for both business and consumers, those companies making the effort to improve their environmental performance are stealing a march on their competitors. In the process of reducing their contribution to climate change, companies often improve efficiency, lower their costs and increase competitiveness. The Envirowise Indicator has been designed as a highly valuable and flexible aid in this process.
Working out a full carbon footprint requires detailed information on the resources and utilities that a company uses. The Envirowise Indicator is designed to give a guide to carbon use using a simple set of data. It allows a company to either input its own data or to use the Indicator's built in default resource and waste costs, making the process as quick and easy.
Having entered the appropriate figures, an indicative carbon use and the total costs of resources are displayed in an easy to understand, graphical form.
Once a company has assessed potential savings in all parts of its business, it can receive the latest expert sector-specific advice from Envirowise at the click of a button.
The Envirowise Indicator thus provides a simple but effective way to understand the connection between the future of a business and the actions needed to minimise its use of materials, water and energy in every aspect of operations. It helps business to limit the risk associated with environmental change whilst enjoying significant savings.
The Envirowise Indicator is available now here.
