Working Group
Overview
The Business and Sustainability working group aims to engage and educate businesses and small to medium enterprises about workplace sustainability.
This RCE-GWS working group is giving focus to identifying cost-effective approaches to greening their operations and their core business. It is also looking at how to assist SMEs to ensure they take into account recent legislation.
It is also working with the UWS Office of Sustainability to produce a map of current and emerging career opportunities in sustainability and how becoming expert in sustainability management can give an employment edge.
The focus is getting a number of smaller to medium businesses to come together to tender for large contracts. Surveys will be conducted in the Dunheved Business Estate.
