Unlock the value in sustainability
Whichever way we look at it, the UK is in the midst of a transition to a low carbon,
resource efficient economy. It means environmental concerns are here to stay and
businesses of all sizes will be impacted.
To support SMEs reap the benefits and manage the risks , Lloyds TSB Commercial have
introduced a free online service where businesses can create their very own sustainability
statement.
Green wins business!
Any company that wishes to grow and expand knows that the ability to win new business
is very important and research has shown that businesses who take sustainability
into account can:
- Drive up their business value by up to 80%*
- Tap into a growing market
- Save money, resources and energy
- Better engage and retain their staff
How we can help
Lloyds TSB Commercial has introduced a free and easy to use online tool which will
allow you to create and download your own sustainability statement and action plan
to fit with your business.
The 'Key to Sustainability' tool is easy to use and customise, and will help you
on your way to a more resource efficient, profitable business.
Simply go to the Lloyds
TSB Sustainability website and find out how to implement a sustainability
agenda into your business plan as well as lots of tips and useful links to get you

As customers increasingly use sustainability as criteria in the tendering process,
a company that can demonstrate their ‘green credentials’ will gain a competitive
advantage and will certainly improve the chances of winning customer contracts.
With an uncertain economic future, can your business afford to ignore the environment?
