Incorporate sustainability best practice into your operations
Use your sustainability vision, policy and strategy to inform any changes to your operations, procurement, and estate and site management.
Ensure your procurement practices incorporate sustainable purchasing and ethical sourcing, and prioritise suppliers with good environmental and social responsibility policies.
Review your estate management to ensure efficient energy, waste and water practices are embedded, and biodiversity is prioritised. It’s also important to consider how your buildings are cared for and how you can make maintenance more sustainable. There are many different ways to do this, for example, you can switch to environmentally friendly cleaning products, and implement regular equipment maintenance and repair to avoid the need for new purchases.
This is a crucial step in demonstrating integrity by aligning your actions with your stated commitments and plans. By completing this action, you will actively reduce your environmental impact across all areas, optimise resource efficiency, enhance safety and comfort, and potentially create cost savings.
For settings with a leased estate, it is important to collaborate with your landlord to identify what is possible for your site.
