BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP SCHEME
The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Business Membership Scheme, is a category of membership aimed at raising awareness of environmental issues and the importance of conservation amongst Montgomeryshire's Business Community.
This venture provides an excellent opportunity to form a strong and mutually beneficial working relationship between the Trust and local businesses.
Environmental issues are high on the political agenda, which of course affect all of us in our day to day living. Wildlife and conservation issues too are at the forefront of peoples minds, largely due to the number of programmes that are on TV these days. Both the Trust and the local business community can take advantage of this, and working together will portray a strong image that this is a shared agenda.
We know that everything we do has an impact on wildlife, and many people including your customers, employees and members of the community are looking to find ways of doing their bit. However small an individual's contribution to reducing their impact on the environment, winning people's hearts and minds on such big issues is a sure way of gaining loyalty and respect - by working together, we can make the most of this.
A working relationship between the Trust and the business community will without doubt provide benefits to both of our organisations. It would offer local businesses the opportunity to demonstrate that as a business they take their social and environmental responsibilities seriously and likewise demonstrate that the Trust has a much broader vision than our traditional image as ‘tree huggers', our objective is to engage and involve people in our work.
Local businesses could really benefit from increased customer loyalty and the benefit of positive publicity that being a Business Member would generate, as well as getting the satisfaction of knowing that their business was contributing to the protection of local wildlife.
