Resource management has such an important role in the overall context of reducing carbon emissions and as we build back from the impact of the pandemic”.
Categories
The scheme is split into eight sector categories ranging from hospitality to healthcare and construction. This will enable entrants to measure themselves again comparable businesses in the same industry.
