South West |
|
First established in 1976, the four South West Energy & Environmental Management Groups are independent organisations serving industry, commerce and the public sector. Membership totalled nearly 1,000 members in recent years before the Avon & Somerset EEMG had to close down in July 2018 but the other 3 groups in the South West remain active. The EEMGs provide continuing professional development, information exchange, specialist training and networking. With rising energy prices alongside increasing concerns about climate change and sustainable consumption and production, membership of your local Energy & Environmental Management Group has never been more relevant. Whatever type of business you are in, whether in the public sector, manufacturing, commerce, healthcare etc, keeping up-to-date with energy and environmental management issues is increasingly important and this is where your local EEMG can help. See our about us page for further information. Do you see yourself as a future leader for promoting green business issues? Getting involved with your local SW EEMG could help your career.

Do you see yourself as a future leader for promoting green business issues? The South West Energy & Environmental Management Groups are at the forefront of promoting continuing professional development and networking on green business issues and wish to maintain and develop this role as environmental objectives increasingly challenge all sectors. SW EEMGs welcome interest from those with energy and/or environmental management or promotional responsibilities to join their local EEMG committee with a view to helping it develop to meet the evolving needs of the managers of today and tomorrow. If you are pursuing a professional career in the South West of England that involves green business issues, your local EEMG may be able to offer you a unique opportunity to further develop your skills, raise your profile and build your own track-record in working to help raise the environmental performance of industry and commerce. EEMGs can offer opportunities on their committee with a view to taking on a future leadership or leadership support role for the group. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity to boost your own professional career and experience, contact your local EEMG Chairman or Secretary for advice (contact details on each EEMG page). |
