Enta identified the uniqueness of the Environment & Sustainability cluster because its cross-cutting theme impacts on all types of social enterprise regardless of sector.
Enta has produced a ‘Growing Green’ toolkit to help other voluntary & community organisations and social enterprises gain a greater understanding of Environmental and Sustainability issues.
Incorporating an environmental agenda can have a positive impact on business. Money can be saved within an organisation by making better use of resources. In addition - and most importantly for any enterprise seeking to attract contracts or commissioning - it will assist in meeting the newly emerging environmental requirements of procurers like the Local Authorities, Learning & Skills Council or PCTs.
The Green Toolkit has been distributed to over 60 organisations within the Birmingham Chamber REALiSE programme and is now also available to other companies for a nominal fee. It is of particular interest to newer or small to medium organisations looking for clear, usable, practical tools for environmental issues affecting business.
The ‘Growing Green’ toolkit is available on USB and includes;
- an Environmental Policy template
- tips on monitoring environmental impact
- information about environmental legislation compliance
- advice about working towards an EMS (Environment Management System) to meet future procurement demands
- and lots more useful information
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the toolkit.
