ENWORKS Resource Efficiency
CBEN is a key member of the ENWORKS resource efficiency partnership, delivering free environmental support to Northwest businesses in Cumbria.
Our specialist support is jointly funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and is available to all businesses as part of the national Solutions for Business package.
CBEN provides practical advice and support to help businesses reduce their energy, water and material use, manage their waste and review their product efficiency and packaging design.
Our support is tailored to the needs of different businesses. It can include training and networking opportunities, telephone support and advice, on-site efficiency reviews and ongoing help with making improvements.
In this way we help businesses to cut their energy, material, water and waste costs, bringing a wide range of lasting business benefits, including:
• Increased profitability
• Reduced risks
• Reduced environmental impact
• Improved productivity
• Access to new markets
• Compliance with legislation
• An enhanced reputation.
CBEN also offers access to free, bespoke online software that helps businesses to manage their activity programmes and monitor the resulting savings.
We encourage businesses to sign up for fortnightly Green Intelligence emails, with the latest environmental news of relevance to individual readers and details of training events and courses in the Northwest.
The ENWORKS resource efficiency programme has helped more than 10,000 businesses across the Northwest. In Cumbria, CBEN is already helping Northwest businesses with annual savings of £11.25 Million and 40,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
