Reducing the Council's environmental impact

Reducing the Council's environmental impact - our role

To protect the environment by efficient management of the Council's use of natural resources

Reducing the Council's environmental impact - what we do

We have developed a structured programme to reduce the Council's impact on the environment. Policies have been developed around:

• Energy and water
• Transport
• Production of waste

Encouraging sustainable procurement

Over the past five years a range of measures have been implemented to help meet these policies and we are constantly reviewing our progress to ensure we continue to improve on our targets.

Reducing the Council's environmental impact - Why we do it

As with every large organisation the Council’s day to day activities require the use of natural resources such as water and fossil fuels, which in turn can have a harmful effect on the environment. The Council recognises this and wishes to use natural resources as efficiently as possible, reducing our impact on the environment.
