Project Examples - Environmental Management

Green Dragon Environmental Standard

Andrew Gray (MSc - Integrated Environmental Management Bath & IEMA) was one of the architects of the Green Dragon Environmental Standard for Wales.  This aims to reward businesses for the progress that they make towards a formal or informal management system.

Sustainable Development - Corporate Support

We have developed new strategic approaches to corporate environmental management, with the inclusion of sustainable development principles in the Torfaen Regeneration Strategy; and have developed a sustainable development evaluation process for brownfield sites for partners working in Germany, France, The Netherlands, England and Wales.

We organized the first Business Environment Conference in Wales in 2001, which launched the Carbon Trust in Wales.

 

Grant Funded Environmental Projects

We have been successful in securing over £5million of grant funding for Environmental Management projects, including the setting up of environmental advisors, providing grants for new technologies and supporting environmental management systems.  We were authors of the concept to develop an eco-centre on an industrial estate, and are currently working to improve sustainable development on brownfield sites across Europe.

Environmental Impact Assessments

We have undertaken environmental impact assessments (EIA's) for major and minor power line route selections for the electricity utility, ESKOM, in South Africa.  We also undertook EIA's for substation sites for ESKOM and for a new private leisure development on the South Coast of Natal, South Africa.
