Help for firms to go green

East Sussex businesses are being offered help to become more environmentally friendly and save money.

East Sussex County Council is leading a partnership of local authorities in East Sussex to offer a range of free training events to help businesses reduce their energy, water and waste bills.

With costs of these utilities spiralling, reducing their use can really cut costs. The East Sussex Business Excellence Through Resource Efficiency (BETRE) programme provides free practical advice and assistance to local businesses on how to reduce waste, energy and water use. Services include training, site visits, a helpline and grants. The free forthcoming training events are listed below.

The award winning BETRE programme has so far helped over 880 businesses, who have saved over 400,000 between them per year
