Training and other help
EREP seeks to assist businesses to realise both the financial and environmental benefits of resource efficiency. Part of this is building the capability of people in participating sites, through resource efficiency training, guidance, references and case studies.
How to prepare an EREP
Using the EREP Toolkit as a guide, the EREP Team ran workshops to help EREP businesses understand how to prepare their EREP. The workshops showed businesses how to conduct a site assessment and identify opportunities to improve resource efficiency.
The workshop presentations are available to download either as a complete file (PDF 6894kB) or as individual sections:
- EREP overview
