'font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Philip Youngwood

Businesses have been advised that making small changes to their energy usage could add up to significant reductions in their energy bills, by a recent report by energy saving experts. According to the joint report by the Energy Saving Trust (EST)and the Environment Agency, the potential savings could amount to a massive 3.5 billion pounds.

Ruth Spellman, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Management, spoke to This Is Money about the issue. She commented ‘said ‘climate change cynics need to recognise the business case for going green.

‘A typical employer is likely to use excessive amounts of paper, ink and electricity. If so, a few simple changes, such as printing double-sided or turning off computers at the end of each day could save money.’
