Global Action Plan and Barking and Dagenham Council invite you to this workshop for Barking and Dagenham based SMEs.

The session

The session will look at why you should green your organisation – what are the business benefits to you as a company?  We will also look at how you can demonstrate your achievements to your clients: what are the accreditations schemes that are available for you?

Should you be looking into getting an accredited Environmental Management System? Or join an industry specific scheme?

The workshop will also cover a number of ‘top tips’: actions that you can take back to your office and start implementing straight away. 

Free support

All Small and Medium sized businesses who attend will also be able to take up Global Action Plan's ERDF funded one-to-one support worth over £2,000. Dedicated consultants will work directly with you to help you improve your environmental impact and reduce costs.
