Envirostep – benefiting small businesses and the environment

Launched on Wednesday 15 July 2009, Envirostep is a free, entry level, web-based management tool that will help businesses take the first steps towards understanding and improving their environmental and economic performance. They do this by answering a series of questions that identify their current performance and how they can improve it.

The management tool was developed between small business and environmental experts to help businesses:

  • measure their environmental performance
  • take practical steps that benefit both the environment and their business
  • communicate their environmental performance
  • progress to more sophisticated environmental tools and schemes if they wish.

Envirostep was developed specifically for small- to medium-sized enterprises in New Zealand and is endorsed by Business New Zealand, which describes Envirostep as a much-needed tool that will help businesses in their environmental performance.

Large organisations will also be able to use Envirostep to support the environmental performance of their branches, members or suppliers.
