The toolkit provides a roadmap for businesses of all sizes to reduce their environmental impact through sustainable purchasing, supply chain management, and employee engagement. It also highlights the importance of considering a business's "wider footprint," emphasising the global implications of operational choices.
Key features of the kit include:
- Actionable advice: Practical steps for businesses to make positive changes for nature.
- Supply chain focus: Guidance on building sustainable supply chains.
- Employee engagement: Tools to involve staff in environmental initiatives.
- Wider footprint awareness: Understanding the global impact of business operations.
The West of England Combined Authority plans to expand the toolkit in Autumn 2024, aligning with the Local Nature Recovery Strategy to offer even more targeted support for businesses.
By harnessing the power of nature, local businesses can not only improve their environmental performance but also enhance their reputation and bottom line. The Nature and Business Resources Kit is a valuable tool for those looking to make a positive impact.
