Rolls goes green

11th September 2006

You're never too posh to cut costs, and Rolls-Royce is doing its bit for the environment with a scheme to save water at its plant in Good­wood, West Sussex.

Recycling systems have been introduced in the paint shop, and even staff toilets have been set to low flush. The initiative has reduced usage by 11,000 litres a day - or, in true British style, 215,000 cups of Earl Grey.
