We offer a far less expensive way of holding up a mirror to a company, helping it to reduce its carbon usage in design, packaging and branding its goods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe give a company\u2019s products a stamp of approval in our pragmatic and affordable solution to the challenges of carbon accounting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bloom Eco-Design &amp; Performance Management will continue to offer a software package that calculates, in real time, a company\u2019s carbon footprint through analysis of the expenses claims by its staff.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart added: \u201cIt is a much less expensive solution than traditional carbon audits. Our message is: \u2018Sustainable business is good business\u2019. All companies should have the chance to work in an environmentally friendly fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bloom also prides itself on its involvement in the community and is the driving force behind <strong>Zero Waste Brighton<\/strong>, an initiative aimed at eliminating the visual waste on the streets and tackling waste at source.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Bloom at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecodesignbloom.com\">http:\/\/www.ecodesignbloom.com<\/a> or contact Ollie Wilson, MatchFit Media, at <a href=\"mailto:Ollie.Wilson@matchfitmedia.co.uk\">Ollie.Wilson@matchfitmedia.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MatchFit Media<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news-brighton"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
