The Business Sustainability Program (BSP) assists South Australian businesses and industry sectors to accelerate sustainable change and transition to a more circular economy.
By identifying and prioritising better practice materials and resource efficiency, waste management and resource recovery, and implementing circular economy principles, participants can improve profitability, productivity, and environmental performance.
Projects build accountability and transparency into environmental reporting, giving participants a competitive advantage, and savings can be reinvested for continuous improvement and economic growth.
Experienced and knowledgeable project managers and advisers provide free advice, tools and guidance, and facilitate business-to-business connections and networking, basing our services on the principles of a circular economy.
