Key sustainability issues

Everyone is under pressure to reduce their impact on the environment, as organisations face fast-moving changes to policy measures as well as intense media coverage and fluctuating public opinion – the press coverage regarding biofuels targets being a recent case in point. Organisations are keen to develop sustainable business models for the future and to bolster their green credentials whilst cutting costs where possible.

How we can help

We understand the pressures being faced by both commercial and public sector organisations and we can:

provide up to date and practical advice and training on incoming legislation and new policy initiatives
advise on how the requirements for Energy Performance of Buildings Certificates affect you, particularly in multi let situations
assist you in complying with producer responsibility legislation, in particular packaging waste and WEEE
advise on waste management issues, including the new requirement for Site Waste Management Plans
consider with you whether green leases may be appropriate for you as a way of promoting energy efficiency and management
assist in drafting environmental policies and wider corporate communications on sustainability issues
review existing supply contracts, leases and other documentation to see how these can be amended to help you achieve your sustainability goals.
