The New Zealand Business Council (NZBCSD) for Sustainable Development has reported that "Twenty eight in every 100 firms have sacked suppliers in the past year because of environmental, social or ethical behaviour.” As anyone in business knows it’s far easier to retain a client than find a new one.
An Environmental Management System (EMS) will help you comply with environmental legislation and outline your company’s environmental policy and procedures. Patterson Environmental Ltd can help you develop your EMS. For Patterson Environmental an EMS is not a ring binder of paper that sits on a shelf and is only read by one or two staff. The aim is to integrate it into your current practices and encourage your staff to fully participate. Presentations and workshop sessions can be run for your staff to assist them in getting the most from your EMS. With the full support of your staff and Patterson Environmental, together we can make your business more sustainable. Delivering improvements that will reduce your liabilities and improve the efficiency of your operation.
