Why should small companies care about resource efficiency?
- Increase Profits
Waste costs money, typically up to 4% of business turnover and by finding ways to reduce waste, your company could become profitable. Businesses can make significant savings by taking a few simple actions, like cutting water and energy bills, reducing packaging and implementing cleaner technology. Being more resource efficient could save your company up to £1000 per employee.
- Be Competitive
Many large companies now expect all companies, in their supply chain to operate in an environmentally friendly way. Envirowise can help small businesses to 'green' their operations and remain competitive by providing free guidance and advice on practical ways of achieving a more positive impact on our environment whilst also saving money.

The environment will benefit through waste minimisation, lower consumption of power and water, increased recycling and cleaner, safer and better landscaped sites. Few organisations can ignore the growing demand for goods and services to be delivered in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
