Staff ”can help with improving energy-efficiency”
Employers should look to encourage their workers to improve sustainability in the workplace, it has been suggested.
Lara Conaway, sustainability manager for Morgan Lovell, claimed that organisations - which could include those operating in the third sector - are now increasingly being expected to take steps to boost their environmental credentials.
She said: "Staff can not only help in the efficiency drive but they expect employers to be doing something about it. Engage the staff in what you are doing."
As an example Ms Conaway suggested that employers should run a campaign to make sure that all their workers turn off their computers at night, in comments that may be of interest to those looking to improve sustainable efficiencies.
Furthermore, it was stated that there should be dedicated staff within an office who have special responsibility for reducing energy consumption in the workplace as a part of their job description.
Earlier this month, Liz Lowe, campaign director for Coca-Cola’’s See Plastic Differently campaign, claimed that it is crucial for businesses to have "sustainability at the heart of everything they do".
