Tools
ecoBiz has two toolboxes (easy-to-use spreadsheets) to guide you through the program.
Full Toolbox
The Full Toolbox is a comprehensive tool that provides the flexibility for larger or more complex businesses.
Because all the calculations are included in the toolbox, as you enter your data into the spreadsheet it automatically works out the figures for you.
You can download each step of the toolbox from the following links:
- Step 1: Join - no spreadsheet required
- Step 2: Baseline Assessment - spreadsheet (Excel, 174K)‡, factsheet (PDF, 61K)*
- Step 3: Site Survey - spreadsheet (Excel, 209K)‡, factsheet (PDF, 57K)*
- Step 4: Action Plan - spreadsheet (Excel, 150K)‡, factsheet (PDF, 117K)*
- Step 5: Implementation - no spreadsheet required, factsheet (PDF, 60K)*
- Step 6: Reassessment - spreadsheet (Excel, 174K)‡, factsheet (PDF, 57K)*.
Small Business Edition (SBE) Toolbox
We also offer a Small Business Edition (SBE) of the toolbox, which has been designed specifically to suit smaller businesses. The SBE has all the ecoBiz steps integrated into the one spreadsheet for ease of use.
You can download the SBE and 'Getting Started' guide from the following links:
- SBE Toolbox (Excel, 886K)‡**
- Getting Started with SBE (PDF, 663K)*
We have also developed a number of Small Business Factsheets which are available for download from our business sustainability resources page.
** Due to the requirement to use Visual Basic Macros, the SBE version is currently only compatible with computers running Microsoft Windows or Apple Macs running Microsoft Excel 2011.
An updated version of the toolbox is currently in development, and is due to be released in the first half of 2012.
* Requires Adobe Reader
‡ Requires Microsoft Office files viewer
