There was never a better time to become a Green Business
As the credit crunch continues to bite and the UK economy leads to recession, businesses look for ways of cutting production costs and overheads. As a good entrepreneur you have already adjusted your supply chain, curbed unnecessary expenses and have implemented a lean structure and flexible work force. So, what next?
There is no better time for turning your business green than now. It will help you saving energy, conserving resources as well as acting responsibly towards preserving the environment. And above all, your customers will really appreciate it, and you will save money.
City Growth is helping business in Haringey to turn green. The project has carried out seminars explaining to business how to become green and the benefits of it. It also carried out environment audits on a one-to-one basis, providing local business with a hands-on opportunity to make it happen.
Rachel Widdows, environment consultant, working with HCG says: “Businesses in Haringey are ‘keen to be green’ and were enjoyable to work with. The recent seminar with the creative sector was an outstanding success - full of energy and ideas. I hope now that some of the recommendations and personal pledges will be put into action, so that the Haringey City Growth programme has a lasting legacy of sustainability.”
One of the businesses that took advantage of HCG support was La Kera, a modern Indian cuisine restaurant in the Chocolate Factory 2. Santhosh Chandran says: “HCG definitely gave us orientation in our attempt to take up eco-friendly measures. Though we are not yet 100% there and still finding it difficult to access several services, the drive to achieve it has considerably increased. Rachel gave us motivation and helped us to start putting things into practice”
