Water Efficiency for Business - Workshop to reduce costs and improve environmental performance

IBEC, in association with the EPA’s Green Business Initiative will be holding a Water Efficiency for Business Workshop  to promote the cost savings and environmental benefits of water reduction.

The Workshop will take place on Friday 18 November, 2011at IBEC Confederation House, 84-6 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin, Ireland



This free business briefing will allow businesses and companies to obtain information on practical water efficiency techniques which can be implemented in the short, medium and long term at low cost and no cost to business. The workshop will include speakers from organisations such as the EPA, Dublin City Council, Green Business and industry experts. There will also be presentations from companies who have already implemented water efficiency measures and who will discuss, first hand, the benefits of embarking on a water efficiency programme. 

We would be delighted if you could join us for this free workshop. The morning’s events will be a great opportunity to promote the benefits of water reduction as well as to engage in networking with relevant and appropriate groups. Below is an agenda for the morning.
