A pathway to economic growth
through eco-friendly business
There is now a simple way for businesses in Knowsley to get
expert advice on managing their waste and energy better by
attending The Environment Network meetings.
TEN brings together a team of private and public partners to
help organisations find practical ways to help them to
grow, and cut their bottom line. It provides practical
advice on everything from getting finance for energy efficient
machinery to how to recycle and reuse waste.
The Mission for TEN is to:-
- Be the lead business network in Knowsley for all environmental
matters;
- Improve environmental business performance;
- Cut waste and encourage businesses to use their resources more
efficiently;
- Improve the chances and opportunities for winning
business;
- Champion, help and support business who engage in environmental
and sustainable practices;
- Provide training, business support and funding advice
Put simply, we believe that together we can make a
difference by:-
- Developing a sustainable environment for the people and
businesses in Knowsley to live and work by;
- Providing advice, information and support on a range
of health and safety, and environmental issues, including existing
and new legislation;
- Attracting specialist speakers for topics
relevant to business; and
- Providing practical guidance and
solutions.
Alan Ogilvie, KME's Facilities Manager and a
'TEN' Green Ambassador says, "Joining The Environment Network
has helped us to save money and become more environmentally
friendly at the same time. Small businesses may be
reluctant to look at ways of reducing their impact on the
environment, perhaps as they feel it will increase their costs or
they just don't know where to start. TEN is there to offer advice
and support and I recommend it to anyone looking to do their bit
for the environment and reduce their costs".
