The East of England has been one of the fastest growing regional economies in the UK and benefits from a number of major assets, such as;
- globally-renowned research departments and institutes
- leading companies in growing markets
- major new investment to expand international ports
- considerable new development
- a strong relationship with London.
Small and medium-sized businesses abound and significant sectors include construction, hospitality, automotive engineering, life sciences and financial services.
In response to changing demand, globalisation, tighter regulation and scarcer natural resources, businesses must take resource efficiency seriously to secure competitive advantage. Getting more from less is essential if we want to enjoy improved living standards in a way that significantly reduces carbon emissions, use of resources, and increases competitiveness.
Our aim is to help businesses in the region save money through resource efficiency. To do this we often work with partner programmes to ensure businesses receive the support they need. Envirowise provides businesses in the East of England with support that meets their needs. These pages provide you with information about regional Envirowise events and information about help that is available through our partners.
If you're interested in becoming a regional partner, have specific issues you would like to see covered in our events programme, or want to share your successes with other businesses, contact your Envirowise Regional Manager.
If you are a business looking for advice on how to become more resource efficient, please talk to, or email, the Envirowise Advice Line (0800 585794).
