New Local Green Accreditation Scheme

Businesses and community organisations across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire are now able to access valuable support in cutting costs and going green.NEP Energy Services (NEPes) has launched the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Investors in the Environment (iiE) programme, a not-for-profit environmental accreditation scheme and support service.

 

iiE provides all the help, support, promotion and networking that is needed to help create smarter business practices, and ensure businesses gain recognition for their green efforts. The scheme will help businesses to increase resource efficiency, improve their social and environmental impacts, and win business from an increasingly green aware market place. While there is a cost for independent accreditation, all income will be used to subsidise support for local third sector organisations to improve their resource efficiency, cut costs and increase their chances of winning increasingly competitive funding bids.

 

The scheme helps organisations to develop a comprehensive Environmental Management System and action plan for continual energy, cost and carbon reduction. Members are then rewarded with a nationally recognised green stamp of approval; registered on a national green directory and provided with access to discounted resource efficiency goods and services.
