EnviroFocus

According to a publication recently released by the Carbon Trust, 67% of UK consumers are more likely to buy a product with a low carbon footprint. We know that this may not seem relevant to all of you at first, but it demonstrates how important our environmental impacts are and how they influence a buyer.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol categorises emissions into three scopes:
Direct emissions, e.g. company vehicles
Indirect emissions, e.g. electricity, heat or steam
Other Indirect emissions, e.g. water consumption

Thanks to the B & V EnviroFocus range our customers can take steps towards reducing aspects of their carbon footprint and, in turn, generate savings:
Aquavision is a remote water temperature monitoring scheme that reduces an organisations carbon footprint by reducing man hours on site – fewer visits from a technician means less car emissions.
Clearstream is a water audit and recycling service that saves water.
Drum Re-Using is a service provided by B & V for empty chemical drums – we collect the drums from our customers to wash and reuse them. If they can’t be reused, they get recycled.

The UK has targets of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 and every little helps. If every company takes steps like the ones offered by us above, it will make a huge difference.

The EnviroFocus range also offers safer chemicals and a paper reducing service. Being environmentally aware can save you time, money and increase efficiency. Continuing business doesn’t have to cost the earth.
