An environmental management system and certificate for offices
Green Office includes a model that you can use to build a suitable environmental management system for your organisation, allowing you to reduce your workplace’s carbon footprint and use natural resources sustainably.
The only way to find the biggest improvement needs is to assess your initial situation. The self-assessment of the Green Office environmental management system can be used to discover the causes of your office’s harmful environmental impacts. After the assessment, you can use the results to prepare an annual plan, also known as your environmental programme. The Green Office comes with everything prepared for you to set objectives for your workplace and measure and monitor their achievement.
Once your office’s environmental management system is ready and the office has been audited, your organisation will be awarded with the WWF Green Office certificate. The certificate indicates that the environmental management system of the organisation is implemented in compliance with external criteria, and that the organisation is committed to continuously improving its activities. In addition, the environmental certificate lets your customers and stakeholders know that you are really taking effective action.
