Investment for Growth Report
The REalliance conference, Revaluing Resources, saw the launch of the WRAP/ REalliance report ‘Investment for Growth’ which is the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of the third sector contribution to saving resources. The report outlines the current value and future potential of the sector, finding that there are 700 active resource recovery organisations in England, who between them are saving 523,000 tonnes of CO2; diverting 248,000 tonnes of materials from landfill; and supporting 4,600 jobs with an additional 43,500 voluntary and training opportunities.
The Investment for Growth report also recommends that an externally-verified quality assurance scheme, covering financial health and operational capability, is implemented for third sector organisations to improve confidence amongst the local authorities and commercial operators who have not yet engaged with the sector, in order to encourage future working partnerships.
