Energy and Environmental Issues

Some costs are not immediately apparent - such as environmental issues, which only catch up with us later. Global warming and pollution are already starting to have a severe impact in some areas.

MBA can help you to minimise both the impact of your commercial operations on the environment, and reduce your energy costs. Energy prices are constantly increasing, and can be volatile - at the mercy of political and social pressures, beyond our control.

Many companies have a high exposure to the risk of energy price rises, and environmental restrictions (e.g. tighter air pollution laws). It is important for such companies to review their use of energy in a strategic context, as part of the business planning cycle.

The Environmental and Energy Services division of MBA is fully up to speed on the latest UK and European legislation - such as the Climate Change Levy - and can give you practical advice and support in the following areas:

• Environmental management systems, including ISO14001
