TESTIMONIALS
LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY
"I think the assessment was very useful. The audit was very focused and thorough considering the timescale. The team were flexible and worked with the University team to make best use of resources and time.
Universities are often complex organisations and Revise provides a flexible and thorough approach to auditing. Understanding the nature of these institutions and the range of staff that work within them is important when obtaining key information on processes and procedures. Colleagues responded well to the team. Timescales were met and the service provided was professional and good value
The report was also succinct and provided a clear focus on how to move forward. The University now intends to use this as a stepping stone towards improving practises and discussing the key issues going forward."
Jo Hasbury,
Sustainability Manager
UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE
"The University of Hertfordshire has been working with Sustainable Resource Solutions (the parent company of Revise) since 2007 on various environmental projects.
The University chose Sustainable Resource Solutions because we liked their flexibility and their willingness to work with the University of Hertfordshire’s wide and diverse community. We needed a flexible partner to help us achieve our waste management requirements including a comprehensive recycling and waste minimisation strategy. The University has a social responsibility to dispose of our waste in the most sustainable way possible and this would not have been possible without their excellent guidance. We have found them to be efficient, cost effective and their experience across all environmental issues has allowed us to implement best practice with great success across all of our campuses.
The real difference with Revise compared to other consultants is that they really make an effort to understand our specific issues and problems – it is not always easy to implement a successful recycling strategy with 22,000 students on campus! At all times they were realistic about what we could achieve. We have learnt that small steps of change often translate into a wholesale change of ethos and as our recycling rates continue upwards we look forward to working with Revise on more environmental projects and continued success in the future."

CORNWALL COLLEGE
"Revise explained everything in a very calm manner giving reasoning behind all of your helpful suggestions. Their report has been sent to senior management and I have been told to work through many of the recommendations with their support. I felt that is really was an opportunities assessment in that Revise did not focus on the negatives but on how to turn them around to be positives, a nice approach!"

Sustainability Champion and Travel Plan Co-ordinator
KINGSTON UNIVERSITY
"The team from Revise conducted a very thorough audit of our waste management practices, helping us to identify a number of key opportunities and give us a global picture of where we need to be heading to improve our performance.
As a result of Revise's help we have ensured our legal compliance, improved operational performance as well as reduce waste costs. Their Higher Education experience and knowledge of the waste industry was invaluable and we found them to be very good value for money."

"Revise recently provided an introductory workshop on Environmental Management Systems for the London Universities Environment Group (LUEG). The session was interesting and interactive and has provided members with new skills and ideas to help make improvements within their organisation.
The Revise team are dynamic, knowledgeable and professional, with an excellent understanding of issues relevant to the Higher Education sector, enabling them to make sound recommendations on how to embed sustainability and demonstrate progress on environmental issues."

"Revise provided a sector specific approach to help us towards implementing a sustainable purchasing policy that will work for our institution. We have found their resource base to be very useful to us at various points in the process – what Revise provides is what you can call a one-stop-shop for Sustainable purchasing."
Ola Bankole,
Environmental Officer
ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
"The sustainability audit was extremely useful because it was focussed on the key requirements at this stage in the development of the College’s sustainability strategy. The comprehensive list of objectives and targets which arose from the audit will form the basis for future improvements in environmental performance and help raise the profile of sustainability issues among staff and students. Senior Management were pleased that the College was able to maintain it’s position in the Green League."
