The Environment Network

The Environment Network

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".
