SECURITY TIPS 'top ten' from local police

Green Mark recognises environmental improvements that your company makes. And SMEs in the area can receive 5 days of free consultancy advice and support to get involved with the scheme.

Simon Goldsmith from London Environment Centre introduces the Green Mark.

It is being developed by the London Environment Centre with Business Link for London and supported by SupplyNet

At its launch at St Katherine's Dock Simon Goldsmith who runs London Environment Centre outlined the benefits of the scheme saying that if you run a 'green' business there are four benefits: saving money, training and complying with environmental laws, improved environmental management and creating a good marketing image.

The Green Mark is a first step not a big stride towards an accredited system such as BS8555.

"Why bother?" he said, "Because we can offer you free support which has been funded through ERDF (European funding)."

One of the pilot awards went to Shoreditch business, Loop Management Services, who run a closed loop solution for recycling; collecting products and selling recycled products. The award was received by Dominic Burgess (left).
