Huge demand for unique environmental management guide

A unique guide from the Government Office for the South West has passed a major milestone - over 100,000 copies of 'Resource Efficiency and Corporate Responsibility - Managing Change' have been issued worldwide.

The guide, produced in partnership with Envirowise, is based on real practical experience of working with companies in this field over many years. It seeks to help managers in industrial, commercial and public sector organisations overcome the inertia that prevents real and sustained progress to becoming more resource-efficient.

Managing change towards resource efficiency is a very important factor in the success of every business. Through saving energy and resources companies can become more competitive and profitable whilst reducing their impact on climate change. The guide includes a simple "Change Management Matrix" to help to diagnose how the organisation is responding to climate change at all levels. It helps to identify where there is room for improvement and serves as a route map to drive progress. A section on worst practice in energy and environmental management can help managers learn from the mistakes of others.

GOSW's Regional Director, Jon Bright, said: "We are delighted that this publication has proved so popular. At a time when resource efficiency and an active response to the challenge of climate change are of increasing importance, this guide can help managers take a fresh look at how they address these issues within the culture of their own organisations."

The guide can be found by using the link to the Our South West website below.
