You are not alone. Knowing where to start can seem daunting. You have spent a lot of time and effort formulating your environmental management system. Therefore, now it is time to show off your hard work and you want it to be well received.
Although you may feel apprehensive about this stage it is important not to ignore it. Communicating all your hard work is key to making a successful environmental management system. Remember you need top management involvement as well as staff and external buy-in.
To begin with make small changes that reach a wide audience. For example, you now will have a new environmental policy. This can be put on your company website. Email it to staff ensuring you explain what it is and why it is important. If you would like assistance with this Green Element can provide email templates for you to send.
Make steps in your office to get people talking. Remove under-desk bins and explain why you have done this or introduce automatic light sensors in the meeting rooms.
Share posts on social media letting everyone know that your company has implemented a robust environmental management system and what that means. Again, Green Element can provide templates and advice for this.
Another fantastic way to share knowledge is to arrange environmental lunch and learn sessions or workshops. This brings staff together and gets individuals thinking. At Green Element we have a wealth of resources that can help you deliver this.
