Webinar: Effective Environmental Policies

The Effective Environmental Policies In Action webinar provided guidance to aid decision-making around environmental/sustainability policies. For those developing an environmental policy, this will help encourage staff ownership and buy-in from senior management. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach for developing an environmental policy. JB discuss how to develop a policy that is specific to the nature of your organisation, activities and impacts, genuinely supported by top management and based on engagement with staff. We discuss examples of what a relevant policy should look like in practice.

JB’s Environmental Sustainability Project Manager Paul Crossley was joined by Chrissy Angus, Head of Administration at Lyric Hammersmith, who shared her experience of developing Lyric’s Policy and Action Plan.

Feedback from JB’s previous series of webinars:

“My expectations were exceeded. The materials presented were relevant to lots of different size organisations. We are very small so it’s great to get advice on keeping things simple and what types of things to focus and think about”

“I certainly came away with knowledge that I didn’t have before, and have been able to pass that on to my colleagues”

“Lots to research, think about and gradually implement across the company”
