PECT delivered support to help businesses improve their resource efficiency as part of SUSTAIN Lincolnshire
SUSTAIN Lincolnshire helped businesses across Lincolnshire save money and reduce their impact on the environment. The expert help was provided free of charge to eligible small to medium sized enterprises in the county. This service was part funded through the European Regional Development Fund and is managed by Lincolnshire County Council (LCC).
Every business uses resources – water, electricity, gas, fuel, raw materials. We helped businesses to reduce the costs of their resources through effective management. Not only is this good news for the environment, but it saves you money too.
The SUSTAIN Lincolnshire project ended in October 2015.
The work included:
- Resource efficiency audit
- Resource efficiency action plan
- Renewable Technologies
- Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Training
- On site support
- Resource efficiency campaigns
