Environmental policy and practice
Creating and implementing an Environmental Policy does not need to involve a complete overhaul of your organisation or incur crippling costs - most organisations find that the first stones have already been laid.
- Do you recycle your paper?
- Do you buy fair trade coffee or make use of local shops?
- Do you recycle or re-use equipment, where possible?
The benefits of an Environmental Policy include:
- Formalising the steps that you have already taken
- Presenting a more consistent and comprehensive approach
- Communicating and clarifying your environmentally friendly practices and your approach to the environment
- Providing a point of reference that all members of an organisation can access and refer to
Design and implementation
With CSR and climate change high on the political agenda and featuring heavily in the media, designing an Environmental policy couldn't be easier - or more rewarding.
Creativity, flexibility, innovation: an environmental policy provides an opportunity for an organisation to make a meaningful contribution - and one that can increase team spirit, motivation and morale at the same time.
