Writing an Environmental Policy

In the UK, writing an environmental policy is voluntary. However, if a business wants ISO14001 certification, a policy document is essential.

It may seem a long way from the busy streets of London but many things that happen there have an effect on the surrounding countryside

Envirowise offers help and advice for all sizes of business that would like to improve their use of resources.

  • Setting printers on draft for 90% of the business's printing, saving both electricity and inks
  • Recycling printer cartridges
  • Using public transport when only one team member is travelling and considering whether each journey by two or more people can also be made on public transport. It also provides extra time to catch up on reading or paperwork
