Reducing pollution, energy efficiency and waste minimisation are not only good for the environment they are good for business efficiency too. Nature provides business with water, energy, fuels and raw materials – so shouldn’t business put something back into conserving the natural environment ? From the siting of built development to the education of its employees, all sectors of industry and commerce can affect biodiversity positively or negatively. Environmental issues are becoming increasingly significant, for the simple reason that customers now rate environmental performance and quality as an important factor when making their consumer choices. A company which demonstrates a good environmental track record is likely to gain customer preference over one which does not.
