It used to be “the economy stupid” but now it is the environment. Firms are taking tough stances on environmental costs and they are beginning to understand that it all starts with their own staff. This article suggests seven keys to make sure your staff buy into your environmental policies, and they start at the top:
1. Getting buy-in from senior management
2. Appointing environmental champions (if you are not appointed champion does that make you a loser?)
3. Setting up environmental project teams
4. Good communications
5. Putting environmental issues in the induction programme
6. Running suggestion schemes
7. Recognising individual achievements
