A sustainability policy outlines a business’s commitment to incorporating environmentally responsible and economically viable practices.
This simple and easy to use policy serves as a guiding framework to ensure that business activities align with sustainable practices, minimise environmental impacts, promote well-being and safety of employees, visitors and customers and contribute to long-term economic growth.
Key components of this sustainability policy are:
- Acquiring appropriate materials that minimise waste,
- Seeking environmental and socially responsible supply chain solutions,
- Using mufflers and screening to decrease noise and vibration,
- Ensuring material quantities are measured accurately,
- Appropriate storage of liquids, and
- Educating staff, customers and management on good environmentally sustainable practices.
A sustainability policy enables businesses to provide awareness and competency, training and education to all employees and ensuring environmental and sustainable procedures are communicated and implemented.
