Environment FAQs

Over the last decade, we have seen sustainability develop from primarily an environmental topic to cover areas as diverse as health and safety, wellbeing, social value, modern slavery and the living wage. The nature of the organisation will dictate how each element interacts, the significance it has and so the profile it presents. Understanding this is fundamental to successfully implementing and delivering on your policy aims.

Your environmental policy must address the following:

• Demonstrate commitment by getting it signed, dated and endorsed by senior management.       
• Include a description of your organisation and the activities which may impact on the environment.
• Include a commitment to education and training of employees, particularly those responsible.
• State how progress will be monitored, and environmental performance reviewed.
• Document realistic, achievable and relevant targets to your organisation's environmental impact.

A strategic level management review is an ideal step in gaining that understanding. It provides a clear picture of your current position, the information you have/are reporting and so where your resources can be deployed to best effect for your department and your organisation.

Floods over the past few years have highlighted the urgent need for long-term business continuity planning.

Flooding also has secondary problems as it can cause travel problems, power cuts and water supply disruption.

We can carry out a water continuity management review to see where your biggest risks are and help you to minimise the impact to your organisation.
