Being efficient with resources

- including water, energy, packaging, transport, raw materials and waste - benefits all businesses. It streamlines operations and can collectively save UK companies, large and small, several billions of pounds each year.

It also benefits the environment through better use of finite assets and a reduction in carbon emissions. Resource efficiency is central to the Government's Sustainable Consumption and Production Programme. It should also be a core part of your own corporate strategy. We are increasingly helping businesses to help themselves while safeguarding our environment for us all and generations to come.
Things to consider;

Look at exactly with whom and on what you spend money and identify which suppliers and their products and services have the highest environmental impacts – for example, consuming natural resources or polluting the environment
Review any environmental reports your suppliers might produce to see if and how they are improving their environmental performance and see how their suppliers are rated by various organisations that produce ratings and rankings of how green companies are.
Look for suppliers, such as the LDD Group, who have environmental management systems or who have products and services that come from sustainable sources, and those that encourage take-back, re-use and recycling of their products rather than using landfill or disposing.
