The Envirometer leads to cost savings

Spijkstaal Elektro have been using the Envirometer since moving to their new premises:

In the current situation every company needs to cut its costs, so why not include environmental costs in the equation too? That way you can kill two birds with one stone!

The Envirometer provides a completely transparent review of your environmental costs. Armed with this degree of insight, it's a simple matter to develop policies to reduce those costs and also take pressure off the environment.

Our licenses are full of pretty abstract operating requirements. With the Envirometer our accounts department now prepares compact reviews with which one can really get to work at the nuts and bolts level.

The Envirometer clearly shows that when our company moved into new premises we made major environmental progress. The footprint associated with our energy consumption fell by half, even though we doubled the capacity of our paint-shop. Our energy costs have gone down by 20%. Without the Envirometer these figures would have been very hard to derive from company records. So it's a tool to be recommended!

We've now incorporated the Envirometer as a performance indicator in our ISO9001:2000 quality system. Having been re-audited in March 2004, we now hold the certificate with zero yellow cards. Our auditor was very enthusiastic about the Envirometer; it was the first time he'd seen such a clear and practical system.
