Return On Investment

We would expect that in the year after a full programme begins, that cost savings would be on average at least double the initial investment as consequence of the process, leading to a Return on Investment (ROI) of 6 months or less.  Evidence of this is on the Cost Savings page or call 0845 2799 837 for further information.  The savings would be in the following areas:

• Electricity used to power machinery, lighting, heating, computers, monitors, printers, photocopiers, etc
• Gas used to heat your buildings
• Paper & ink toner used in printers & copiers
• Stationary & other consumables
• Fuel for cars and other machinery
• Waste: as you will produce less waste, this will lead to lower waste costs
• Raw Material & Water use

When aggregated over the financial year, the total cost and therefore the potential for cost savings is considerable.  Our clients find this makes a compelling business case to improve resource efficiency.

Indirect Return on Investment:

PeopleProfitPlanet expect that the financial benefits accrued due to the indirect ROI would more than cover the time investment of your staff in the first year.  Just a few of the examples of where this ROI would stem from are on the People and Profit pages as well as below:

• Opportunity to promote your Corporate Social Responsibility to clients, potential clients and the media.
• Staff have increased sense of belonging and loyalty.
• Skills learnt in training (e.g. how to influence colleagues) would be applied in other areas.
• Team building and sharing.
• Positive message that your organisation cares about the environment.
