■ MANUFACTURERS in the South West are improving their environmental performance and reducing emissions through clearer incentives and rewards, according to a major survey released by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation. According to its 2009 Climate Change survey of almost 300 companies, ‘Seizing the Initiative’, manufacturers are increasingly aware of and, taking action on climate change issues, with over half having taken action to reduce their carbon footprint. Even during the course of the recession, companies had maintained this focus with only one in ten companies saying it had taken a lower priority.
Over a third of companies measure their carbon footprint despite there being no requirement to do so and three- quarters of companies are already involved in or plan to engage in a supplier management programme.
Furthermore, customer requirement (34 per cent) and adhering to an environmental management system (51 per cent), which is often itself a customer requirement, are important factors in improving environmental performance. However, the survey also
showed that to help tackle climate change, greater emphasis should be placed on incentive schemes which are visible to participants and reward good behaviour.
The successes of Climate Change Agreements provide evidence to suggest that this approach works well. EEF used the figures to urge
the Government to take further action.
