Green Consulting
by John A. Herbert | DIRECTOR
Increasingly companies and organisations are being called upon to demonstrate their green credentials, whether it is a commitment to the environment by being social and moral responsibilities (CSR), or an energy efficiency programme to lower GHG (Green House Gas) emission. The general public and other businesses want to see your greenness.
Addressing
the challenge needs to be part of your business
strategy - TODAY! this is essential. Yes, it must add value to your
business -
contributing, not inhibiting, since results
are demanded by your shareholders and stakeholders. However, the tide
has turned, and consumers of all services and products are looking for
greener and environmentally friendly solutions.
The environmental and economic goals are NOT mutually
exclusive! with today's tools and technologies lower cost and
lower environmental impact are not only feasible, but are cost
effective solutions for business. Your competitors are saving money
today using less energy and creating a lower carbon footprint,
furthermore enjoying the benefits of lower energy bills to free capital
for other uses.

and OPex of the cooling water installation, here

What is Green?
First, lets clear up the myth that going green
is commercial suicide, its not, it is the smartest strategy
for future and for growth. Many
companies start out being skeptical, it is understandable, but after
the costs are counted, and the knowledge that their costs are lower
spreads across the business.
Businesses are using a wide range of natural resources to
produce goods or deliver services that consumers need in our day to day
lives. However,
finally it is being realized that these resources are not limitless,
they are actually finite. And the energy input to those
goods and services causes an unwelcome damage to the air
breathe, and the water we drink - in short causes environmental
pollution.
Progressive companies have already discovered that
they can optimize their processes and assets to make the best use of
resources, reduce any negative impact on their surroundings
and strengthen their business results - at the same time.
We are at the front of the green sustainable
curve helping companies get started in the green is business
movement. Through our expertise, we

environmental savong opportunities for business in the areas of:

- and more!
Why Green
There are many positive reasons to choose a greener business
path:
- Capital expenses lower
- Operating costs reduced
- Bottom-line saving is cheap than sales
- Green Credentials = more sales
- Market Differentiation = more profit
- Futureproof
Whilst nobody can see the future, the trend of
customers to demand greener products and services is very clear. If you
need to position your business for future growth, a green strategy is
an essential element. In the UK shopping market aisles of
Tesco, carbon labelling of the products helps consumers make
informed choices, its started, the same principal will apply to your
business.
Delivering Greener
So you might be wondering how does Kelcroft manage to deliver viable green business solutions? We use our exclusive knowledge and skill set, some examples, Kelcroft's thinking lowers the requirement for air conditioning chillers, in turn that lowers both the initial capital cost (lower CapEX) for the air-conditioning plant, and a means the cost to operate the plant is also less (lower Opex), imagine that - lower first cost, and lower running costs - a very sustainable solution for business.
Another example, better planning can lower the cost of
pumping, the initial
cost to purchase the equipment is reduced, and to operate the pump over
the lifetime of a facility is also lower. With reduced costs,
bottom-line profits increase, and your environmental footprint is also
reduced.
