Standards & Top Tips

Triple Carbon Trust Standard Certification
Achieving recognised standards demonstrates your commitment to sustainability, highlights your achievements and improves your reputation.I am an accredited assessor for all three Carbon Trust Standards – Waste, Water and Carbon – and have seen some very interesting examples recently, including an industrial laundry provider, an NHS Trust and a retail broadcaster.While you can apply for them separately, a growing number of organisations are choosing multiple certifications. Watch the new video case study featuring AkzoNobel and The FA on achieving triple certification.ESHCon Top Tips
There are just so many things an organisation can do to reduce its impact on the environment, identify savings and see the commercial benefits. I’ve compiled a list of (just) 100 to give you ideas to get started.

Every day I’ll be sharing another of ESHCon’s Top Tips for Environmental Management. Follow me on Twitter to keep up to date.

OK, not environmental news, but I thought I’d share a bit about my own involvement in charity

Firstly I’m a regular volunteer for the Sussex Community Foundation, which raises funds for and makes grants to local charities and community groups. I’m involved in events and with grant applications & approvals. Since its launch in 2006, SCF has raised over £16 million and awarded grants to over 2,000 community groups.I’ll also be doing a spot of fundraising myself next month when I’ll be running the Race for Life for Cancer Research. This is a good challenge for me, not only to raise money but also complete the distance, after getting back into running (well, jogging) again. Wish me luck!
