Environmental Management Training Are your customers asking for environmental credentials when you bid for work? 45% of respondents in a recent survey confessed their driver for achieving ISO 14001 was to satisfy client demand. You may be required to implement something as simple as an Environmental Policy or as detailed as an Environmental Management System (EMS) to achieve ISO 14001 but you can rest assured that setting an environment framework will provide key benefits to your business: - Ensure compliance with all legal requirements
- Achieve cost savings through more efficient use of materials, packaging, consumables and electricity, and reduced disposal costs
- Enable effective risks management
- Differentiate your company in an increasingly competitive market place

A Criminal Waste Monday 12 May 2008 at 14.00 (Free event) At Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street,
London SW1P 3AA The conference will highlight the issue of the illegal dumping of waste from construction, demolition and excavation sites. Waste from the construction sector can often end up in the hands of unscrupulous operators who dispose of it illegally by fly tipping and dumping. However new legislation is expected to come into force later this year which will attempt to close the loopholes which allow waste to end up with these unlicensed gangs. The conference will give delegates the opportunity to discuss how the industry can combat the illegal dumping of their waste and to ask to what extent civil engineers and other construction practitioners have a moral obligation to ensure that the waste they produce is disposed of ethically.
