Today I wrote an environmental policy for my business. I had thought I was too small to need such a policy but when I saw the question ‘Do you have an environmental policy? if so please attach’ in a tender I am writing – I thought why not!
So it’s done and it feels great to have it. I now have a plan to focus on reducing the two biggest environmental costs of my business my paper and km’s travelling in the car – time to dust of the pushie!
So why don’t you create an environmental policy too. I have attached mine as a word document. Please feel free to make tweaks, additions or deletions to make the policy more relevant to your business and your industry. The end result should be a policy that is both easy to understand and implement.
Let me know how you go.
