Sustainable growth

摘要

As companies increasingly feel the pinch, so pressure to cut production costs through increased energy efficiency and other resource-saving measures is growing. Add to this increasingly strict environmental legislation and a general increase in awareness of all things 'green', and it is easy to see why the sustainability agenda looks set to remain a priority for most businesses in the foreseeable future.rnVisitors to Sustainabilitylive! -taking place at the NEC in Birmingham from 19-21 May 2009 - will have the chance to access the latest solutions and innovations with the capability of increasing the sustainability of their business. The show promotes sustainability in the water, environment, energy and land sectors, and reinforces the message that sustainable operation is no longer a 'good-to-have' - it is a 'must-have'.rnFive events will be taking place under a single banner. Last year, this approach attracted more than 8,000 attendees with 450-plus exhibitors, and it is expected that a similar number will attend this year.
