Lancashire Business Environment Association (BEA)
In 1992 we formed the Lancashire Business Environment Association (BEA) and a year later established our Environmental Resource and Information Centre, (ERIC) providing environmental information services and encouraging local businesses to improve their environmental performance. Our team educated companies about new environmental Regulations, encouraging them to develop and implement environmental policies to create new business opportunities. Over the next 15 years we provided local businesses with legal updates, resource efficiency services and environment and health & safety support.
Legislation Update Service
In the early 2000s we developed our Environmental Legislation Update Service to keep businesses up to date with changes in environmental law, soon expanding the offer to include health & safety law too. Originally this was in the form of a loose-leaf paper manual with monthly updates, before progressing to a CD-Rom version and then our web-based platform.
