It is clear that UK business is being increasingly challenged to reduce its impacts on the environment. Regulations and taxation are pushing this change and society as a whole expects it. To be successful in the future, businesses will have to monitor and carefully manage their environmental impacts. In short, they will need to be resource efficient.

This situation brings opportunities for competitiveness and growth for those companies which are proactive. Lean green businesses are likely to be the leaders in the coming years.
