31.   Foremost is a commitment to follow the best practices in environmental management, including energy efficiency, recycling and waste minimization.

32.   Falling world fish catches, rainforest depletion, reduced energy efficiency, disappearing bird species and increasing global temperatures also give cause for concern.

33.   Both groups favour investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.

34.   They were able to do so only by implausible assumptions about the speed at which renewables and energy efficiency could contribute.

35.   The UK government has announced a number of measures to boost energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.

36.   HOUSING chiefs in Warrington have approved a programme of pilot initiatives to improve energy efficiency in council houses.

37.   Building materials now have to satisfy a series of EC requirements relating to safety, hygiene, the environment and energy efficiency.

38.   So there is no significant push towards energy efficiency when houses are built or rehabilitated.

39.   Of particular note has been a further reduction in the amount of total wastes produced and the maintaining of energy efficiency across the Group.

40.   Over the last two decades ICI has made significant progress in improving energy efficiency.
