SUMS - It Could be You The chance of winning the lottery are remote but making savings from environmental measures are easy to achieve if you know how. CEAC is running a new course this year that could just give you the skills you need to start your savings programme and improve your green credentials. SUMS is a one-day comprehensive training programme that aims to assist businesses of all shapes and sizes to make financial and environmental savings with minimum effort. SUMS' main objective is to identify win-win opportunities for businesses and outlines how to comply with environmental legislation. It aims to cut costs through efficient management of energy, water and waste. The course is for anyone that is involved in day-to-day business operations or is responsible for environmental issues. It is particularly suitable for smaller businesses or business people who have just taken on environmental responsibilities Course themes covered include:
To date average savings identified for smaller companies are £1,200 per year – at a 10% profit margin that is equivalent to increasing annual sales by £12,000. ‘A very comprehensive programme in plain English that unravels the mysteries of environmental legislation and management’ (recent SUMS delegate). For 2008 dates for the course see our events section.
All businesses can significantly reduce the amount of waste they send to landfill by taking action to design-out waste and manage the waste that is produced far more e We now offer you the opportunity to receive affordable waste awareness training through a new nationally accredited qualification. The one day CIWM Waste Awareness Certificate Course (a Chartered Institution of Wastes Management qualification) has been specifically tailored to help you to introduce practical waste management and minimisation measures at work. The course will give you the knowledge, skills and practical advice you need to identify waste, understand sustainable practices in waste management, know how legislation, particularly the Duty of Care, helps to promote best practice in waste management and save money by recognising how and where waste can be reduced and eliminated. Further details are available in our events section.
