More than 60 Asian bosses have been urged to be greener in business.

A seminar for Asian businesses was held at Swire Smith Hall in Keighley College, organised by QED in partnership with Keighley Asian Business Forum.

Gerrard Morris, regional manager for the Environment Agency, was the guest speaker and spoke about ways in which the Environment Agency could provide support to the small business sector by developing environmental practices to ensure firms complied with legislation.

Zulfiqar Ahmed, QED's projects development co-ordinator, said: "The Asian business sector is a vital part of the economy and it is essential they are aware of current environmental practices and legislation in order to avoid problems and remain competitive."
