Understand the
business case
Secret No 1:
Treat the environmental agenda as an opportunity, not a threat. Grasp it with both hands but, whatever you do, don’t forget you are still running a business.
Aiming for mere compliance with environmental legislation is a very expensive hobby. If you have an effluent stream containing a certain amount of a toxic material you may have to install a filter or treatment system to reduce its concentration to a legally acceptable level. If the law tightens in the future, you may have to decommission that system and install a more effectivealternative. This can and does happen several times over a matter of years,leading to great expense.
If, on the other hand, you design the toxin out of the process, then you will never need to purchase or maintain a treatment system again.

What to
doSecret No 2:
Follow the eco-system model of environmental sustainability or, where you can’t, be eco-efficient by a factor of 10.

concerned with the type of materialsand energy and how we use them
