Energy Management
Wasting energy reduces profitability. £1 saved on energy, equates to the profit from a £10 sale for most UK businesses; therefore wasting just £1,000 a year on energy (due to poor energy management) requires £10,000 of net turnover.
Government studies have proven that companies can reduce their energy costs by at least 10% via simple housekeeping measures being adopted and by as much as 30% via cost-effective measures adopted through effectice energy management planning.

EHS Auditing
EHS auditing is a systematic and structured approach to assist businesses with monitoring and measuring environmental, health and safety performance.
Formalised checklists and procedures ensure a consistent measure of performance and risk. This enables comparative assessment and benchmarking. All auditing is undertaken by competent and experienced EHS professionals.
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of projects ensures that environmental impacts are identified and assessed. Schedule 5 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 to 2006 details the activities that require a formal EIA. Where a development is not covered by these Regulations, planning authorities may request an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or an Environmental Report (ER) to be submitted as part of the planning process.
Valcomm provide specialist assistance in preparing planning applications and EIS's or Environmental Reports.
EIA's are carried out in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Guidelines on EIS preparation.
