That is why in February and March of this year, Business Link ran a series of Survival of the Fittest events throughout the East Midlands, the aim being to inform small to medium sized businesses of the bottom line benefits of streamlining waste and resources. The events were funded by the East Midlands Development Agency and run in partnership with the Carbon Trust and Envirowise.
From looking at your energy bills to using technology to cut costs from packaging to effective water and waste management; the events were packed with handy practical tips on how managing resources effectively can save hundreds and even thousands of pounds, especially critical at a time when every single penny counts.
Following on from the success of this event programme, we have put together an information resource to support East Midlands businesses interested in saving costs, through taking a closer look at the tangible business benefits of being fitter and leaner with resources.
Key features include:
- Video highlights from the Survival of the Fittest event programme.
- Local business case study videos illustrating how being resource efficient in practice can save money, cut waste and enhance your reputation with suppliers and customers.
- Competitive advantage video from Craig Sams, Co-Founder, Green & Blacks.
- Workshop PowerPoint presentations.
- Business Link Resource Efficiency self diagnostic.
- Business Link Resource Efficiency Support and Funding.
- Free online tools from the Carbon Trust and Envirowise.
- Top tips on what low cost and no cost actions you can take for immediate impact.
