Sustainability
|
Quite apart from it being good business practice to plan sustainability into more activities, there is a compelling need to address this subject if applying for European or UK grant-aided support for projects.
BS8900 is designed to help organisations to develop an approach to sustainable development that will continue to evolve and adapt to meet new and continuing challenges and demands. It offers clear practical advice with which to make a meaningful contribution to sustainable development.
This Standard guides organisations towards effective management of their impact on society and the environment, along the route to enhanced organisational performance and success.
BS8900:2006 is designed to:
- Provide a framework so organisations can take a structured approach to sustainable development by considering the social, environmental and economic impacts of their organisation's activities
- Be applicable to all organisations, in terms of size or type, including Universities and Printers
- Make it easier for organisations to adjust to changing social expectations
- Help organisations to connect existing technical, social and environmental standards, both formal (e.g. ISO14000 series of Standards) and private Standards (e.g. the GRI and the AA1000 Standards)
- Provide organisations' stakeholders with a useful tool to assess and engage in improving organisational performance
- Offer a maturity pathway for the development of the management of sustainable development issues and impacts
Penarth Management has experience of working with organisations to carry out research on sustainability and of implementing a system that meets the requirements of BS8900.
