Firms proactive in green planning

COMPANIES’ waste management programme costs have increased by 31%, placing environmental planning high on the corporate agenda, a Deloitte & Touche survey reveals.

D&L's partner in charge of energy and resources group Ger O'Mahoney said firms are getting proactive in their environmental planning.

"Nominating a full-time resource to manage your environmental planning is key to any cost savings. We have certainly seen an increase in knowledge levels and resource allocation 73% of those surveyed have an environmental manager, and almost half of those are full time," he added.
