Event Details

 

Helping local Businesses be more resource efficient

 

Come and meet the Somerset Business Waste and Recycling Contractors who invite you to tell them what you need to be able to recycle more and reduce waste.

There will be representatives from a range of organisations and agencies to provide you with information, advice and support especially onreducing waste and CO2 emissions. 

The event will also give you the opportunity to tell us what you need to help you through the current recession, improve productivity and make greater profits.

 

Keynote speaker: Dr. Simon Forsyth DipEM

Simon stumbled into environmental management in 1989 by offering to look after a paper-recycling bin. After that, things ran out of control. He set up the Green Teams at Hewlett Packard in Bristol, became a full-time environmental specialist and ISO14001 auditor, ran a small consultancy, helped deliver the Southwest-wide Envision programme, established a number of Resource Efficiency Clubs, and now focuses on the linkages between carbon management, Environmental Management Systems, and cost-carbon saving through resource efficiency.
