We encourage companies to reduce their emissions first and only offset the unavoidable emissions

A carbon footprint assessment is merely the first step in a Carbon Management Programme

Once the carbon footprint assessment has been completed

bull Gain top level sponsorship and support

bull Formation of a working group

bull Produce a company Environmental Policy

bull Formulate and implement an action plan with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

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
