The Green Guide
Making Woking A More Sustainable
And Profitable Place To Do Business
An Introduction to Running a Green Business
and a Reference Outline to Current Legislation
and
Responsibilities for the Future
The debate over global warming and the environment has
raged for many years now, and continues to do so. What
is of no doubt however, are two things. The scientists all
agree that there is a problem, and as the experts they
should know better than anyone; and secondly, if you are
in business, you have a social and corporate responsibility
to ensure that you are doing all you can to reduce the
effect that you are having on the problem.
This responsibility is ever increasing and often confusing
due to the amount of legislation that is being produced
in this area, and the amount of places we can go to get
help are manifold.
Making the decision to change and be sustainable
within your business can only be beneficial to the
environment, but also provide economic benefits to you
and your business.
This guide has been produced by Woking Chamber of
Trade & Commerce to help you find the right
information in the areas that apply to you. I truly hope
you all find it useful.
