Environmental Management Systems
An environmental management system (EMS) enables you to identify, manage and control your environmental impacts and compliance with environmental legislation. Benefits associated with an EMS can include cost savings, cost avoidance (in the forms of fines for breaches of legislation), risk reduction and improved competitiveness.
An EMS can also have benefits in terms of company profile and marketability. We can help you develop an EMS that is specific to your company's needs, from initial identification of your environmental impacts through to a fully developed system or certification to standards such as ISO 14001 (if appropriate).

Environmental Policies and Action Plans
Many companies require suppliers to have environmental policies, but a policy is only the starting point; increasingly companies expect their suppliers to develop environmental action plans. We can help you to develop an environmental policy and supporting action plan which is tailored to your company's needs. This can form the first stage of an environmental management system (EMS)

Energy Efficiency
Saving energy has environmental benefits in terms of reduced fossil fuel consumption and production of greenhouse gases, and can often reduce costs. We can put you in contact with the experts to investigate how you can become more energy efficient or use renewable energy sources more effectively.

Product Life Cycle Analysis

Businesses need to be conscious of how much impact their products have on the enviroment, both during the process of manufacture and through their life of use, and also following their disposal at end-of-life. We can provide a multi-disiplinary team to help analyse the impact YOUR products have through their lifetimes.

Travel plans
We can advise you on how you can reduce your company's transport costs through recommendations such as driver training, technical improvements and back hauling. Travel plans can help your employees to make greater use of car sharing, cycling and public transport, reducing the amount of space you have to provide for staff parking. Commuting has a major impact on congestion which costs the economy £33.5 billion per annum which includes the £20 billion incurred by businesses from late deliveries, longer journey times and missed opportunities.
