The Going Green programme is for business that are committed to driving down their consumption of natural resources and determined to become more environmentally friendly.

 

Whichever industry you operate in, your company will have an impact on the environment and climate change. Today, companies around the world are increasingly being held accountable for this impact, by investors, staff and customers. In fact, the extent to which the company tickets its contribution to climate change and the environment is fast becoming a key measure of business performance and a critical factor in completive tenders and consumer buying decisions. Now is the time to understand and adjust your impact on the environment - reducing resource consumption where you can, and driving your business towards a greener way of operating.

 

Investors and analysts recognise that the impact on the environment by a company represents a real business cost. Put simply, if investors feel a company is not strategically managing its environmental impacts, that will be reflected in the share price. Companies are being screened against environmental and social criteria, and indices such as FTSE4good are becoming significant influencers.
