Case Studies
To date over 300 organisations - from both the public and private sectors - have taken the Loreus route to improve their performance. Our software is currently being used to underpin the BEST Network, a public-private sector partnership which aims to revolutionise business efficiency and sustainable technology in the East Midlands and which is backed by the European Regional Development Fund.
BEST Network: Founding Partner and Software Support
Loreus has supplied software to the BEST NETWORK (Business Environmental Solutions and Training) programme. BEST Network is a joint project with experienced environmental and business consultants from the College of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University and key partners from across the East Midlands that include East Midlands Development Agency, Experian and Loreus Ltd.
To date the BEST Network has assisted over 325 SMEs across the East Midlands in a range of sectors in achieving Phase 1 of BS 8555 and beyond. Through our involvement in the BEST project Loreus software has been used to assist and train over 350 individuals, help over 150 SMEs develop an Environmental Policy and aid 150 companies in reducing their energy consumption.
EcoCampus: Founding Partner and Software Support
EcoCampus is a national Environmental Management System (EMS) and award scheme for the higher education sector. The scheme allows universities to be recognised for addressing key issues of environmental sustainability.
The EcoCampus project is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and is a collaborative project between Nottingham Trent University (NTU), Loreus Ltd and key partners, the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC) and Environmental Campaigns (ENCAMS).
Loreus has developed the scheme and its software will involve further developing EcoCampus as a sector specific tool for rewarding EMS implementation and will link with 10 Universities, to pilot the schemes development. The scheme will run from December 2005 to December 2008.
The key and innovative aspects of the Loreus software tools are that it offers a phased, modular and incremental approach to developing an EMS that is tailored to situations where resources are limited or inexperienced.
