ARENA Network 13th Annual Environmental Benchmarking Survey
ARENA Network has conducted the annual Northern Ireland Environmental Management Survey since 1998. This business led initiative is widely recognised as the principal measure of environmental engagement in Northern Ireland and examines the leading 200 companies, government departments, local councils, Health Trusts and the education sector.
The Survey benchmarks organisations against both their sector peers and the leading Northern Ireland organisations, on the basis of their environmental management and performance in key areas.
A voluntary exercise, the Survey helps organisations analyse gaps, measure progress, drive improvement and raise awareness of the environment as a strategic, competitive issue at board level.
This year 128 organisations from 15 different sectors took part, reaching an average score of 68%.
"The ARENA Network Survey is strategically important for businesses and the public sector becasue it challenges all of us to do the right thing to protect our environment while delivering clear business benefits for participants."
Alex Attwood,Environment Minister
ARENA Network aims to continue to encourage, steer and support businesses of all sizes towards environmental improvement by taking part in the Survey. We offer a couple of options in terms of support for survey participants.
The 13th Environmental Benchmarking Survey is now closed and the results were launched at the Belfast Harbour Office on Tuesday 29th November.
