The Green Industry
Avid Partners accountants have worked closely with a number of organisations in the Green Sector ranging from green tourism companies to recycling organisations to renewable energy providers. Companies operating in this sector encounter challenges that are unique to their industry as well as standard issues effecting any business. There are a number of factors driving global demand for new products, services, technologies and solutions in the Green Economy. These include:
- The high cost of energy
- The finite supply of traditional raw materials and clean water
- Increased environmental regulation
- The setting of international emissions reduction targets
- The increasing demand from consumers for sustainable goods.
