For more than a decade now organisations from around the globe have benefitted from average savings of 30 per cent for energy and waste stream, and 20 per cent savings for water consumption thanks to EarthCheck. That's akin to receiving a 30 and 20 per cent discount to major operating costs and the benefits can be seen in the bottom line!
