Action Planning
bull Review Carbon Footprint appraisal set your current situation as the baseline
bull Review environmental policy where you want to be in the future
bull Start by performing a lsquogap analysisrsquo - discuss each main area seeking opportunities for environmental improvement bull Suppliers and materials purchased energy consumption (lighting heating IT use travel
haulage and distribution) water use and waste management
bull Set actions (short medium and long term) and assign responsibility as well as dates for completion and review
bull Short of ideas Involve the staff eg Suggestions boxes and run competitions
A policy is just lsquogreenwashrsquo without any action

Origin of Emission
Scope 1
bull Electricity heat or steam generated on sitebull Natural gas oil LPG or coal use attributable to the
company owned facilitiesbull Company owned vehicle travelbull Production of any of the 6 GHGsbull Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
