The Environmental Industries Commission [1] is today launching its 2011 “Manifesto for Driving Growth and Competiveness in the UK’s Green Economy”. The Manifesto will be launched in the House of Commons Members’ Dining Room, with a keynote speech from Mark Prisk MP, Minister for Business and Innovation.
This environmental industry policy manifesto sets out a series of recommendations on how the Coalition Government can establish a world-leading environmental industry in the UK - with thousands of new businesses, hundreds of thousands of new jobs and huge export potential. This Industry Manifesto has been prepared by leading business people and policy experts in the UK’s environmental industry, which has a value of £112 billion, an export turnover of some £10 billion and employs just under one million people.
RDM, the leading UK energy and building controls specialist, last month held its first international distributor conference at its headquarters in Glasgow. The two-day event drew together senior representatives from the company’s growing international network, which now covers the US, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden, Holland, Turkey and Malaysia. Delegates were given an insight into RDM’s plans for the future, including the long-term vision for the company’s development and product launches planned for the coming year.
