Green for Micro Programme

The aim of the Green for Micro programme is to help you identify cost savings and improve the green credentials of your business. This is achieved by looking at your business from an environmental perspective. Improving environmental performance through greater resource efficiency can help your business achieve competitive advantage. Projects may vary from looking at your energy, water & waste costs, guidance with environmental management system, to the greening of your product or business to adapt to the changing market place. The programme will help you make more informed decisions to reduce your business costs, lower its carbon footprint, and improve the environmental profile of the business in the marketplace.
