The Lean Footprint is a one day masterclass to assist businesses within the furniture industry on the path to gaining a “leaner carbon footprint”. 

Increasing pressure from the Government, specifiers and retailers have encouraged this green movement in demanding that organisations manage and control their carbon emissions. Consumers are becoming more empowered to take carbon emissions and environmental polices into account when making a buying decision, therefore it is vital for businesses to respond to this change in the market.

The application of lean concepts can help to put you on the path to reduce your carbon footprint by making sustainable business improvements. By adopting an “inside out approach” these improvement strategies can not only help to reduce your business’s carbon footprint by as much as 20% but also make real cost savings.
