- Use the organisation's purchasing power to favour sustainable and 'environmentally friendly' products that have least environmental impact.
- Include environmental considerations in all business planning, including best practical options to reduce or eliminate adverse effects on the environment resulting from our activities.
- Ensure that the environmental policy is communicated to all employees and made available to the public.
