Thanks for visiting us at Sustainability Live!
A big thank you to all the companies that came to see us at Sustainability Live! at the NEC last month. We received a great amount of interest in ELUS and HASLUS, and delegates were keen to find out more about Groundworks' wider activities, not only with business support around the country, but our wider social agenda as an environmental charity.
Look out for us in the next IEMA magazine as we talk about our new partnership with law firm Pannone LLP, to help keep ELUS and HASLUS at the forefront of keeping businesses up to date with accurate legal summaries.

New ELUS and HASLUS website launched to help businesses stay compliant
The launch of a new website will enable businesses to stay compliant with the latest legislation affecting them in a simple and affordable way.
ELUS (Environmental Legislation Update Service) and HASLUS (Health and Safety Legislation Update Service) are designed to save companies the hassle of trawling through documentation to stay up-to-date.
www.elus.co.uk makes the services 100% electronic, so they’re easy to use and paper waste is minimised.
Run by social enterprise Newground CIC, all profits made from ELUS and HASLUS are invested back into communities in need.
Developed more than 10 years ago in response to increased concerns from businesses, ELUS and HASLUS originally consisted of paper updates mailed out monthly to customers.
Now, businesses can access a bespoke legal register online and receive legislation updates by email.
Jamie Bearman, information services manager for ELUS and HASLUS, said: “We read over 30,000 words a day, translate them into plain English and then show you the parts that are relevant to your company.
“ELUS and HASLUS are easy to implement, risk-free and great value for money. As they are now available online, customers can access the services from any PC with internet access. Plus, it’s great for a company’s corporate social responsibility as they’re associating with a recognised not for profit organisation.”
