Business and the environment
What are our environmental responsibilities?
From practical day-to-day compliance issues to strategic and business management issues such as sustainability, corporate and social responsibility.
NetRegs provides free environmental guidance for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in the UK. We will help you to understand what you need to do to comply with environmental law and protect the environment. We may even help you to save money by showing you ways to use your resources more efficiently.
How much does your water cost?
Do you have any idea? People are so used to turning on the tap and having water come out that they probably don’t think too much about the cost of getting it there. But, as a business, you need to give this due consideration.
As well as paying for the water you use, and the water you lose, there are disposal costs for waste water.
How much water do you lose due to leaks? Are you and your staff water conscious? What does it cost you to have your water at the right temperature? Do you pump in water? Do you have to store it? Are additional treatment costs required?
How efficient is your water meter? Is it the right size for your needs? Maybe you are charged according to the size of your water meter, not the amount of water you use. If your meter is too big, you will be charged more.
According to NetRegs, many businesses can save up to 50% of their water costs through simple and inexpensive ways of reducing use or loss.
Environmental issues even negatively affect the national economy!
NetRegs’ latest SME- environment study revealed that half of SMEs do not understand how their business impacts on the environment. SMEs were fined around £2.5 million for pollution and environmental damage in 2007. This cost not only hit the businesses, but the national economy and the environment as a whole.
How you could save your business money
Less than half of the UK’s SMEs benefit from savings by reducing their environmental impact through recycling or reducing waste.
Businesses who significantly improve their green practices reduce the risk of being fined for non-compliance.
