Green Team<br />
The Green Team consists of a group of<br />
individuals from across the RCT Homes<br />
Group that come together to plan and<br />
work on initiatives that improve the<br />
business’ environmental performance.<br />
The Green Team has continued its success<br />
in tackling green business activities since<br />
2012.<br />
The achievements so far include:<br />
• Power Down initiative:<br />
Encourages energy saving in the office<br />
and around the home.<br />
• Binless Office:<br />
Our office recycling campaign aims<br />
to reduce the amount of waste sent<br />
to landfill. Central recycling points<br />
have been established throughout<br />
the business and regular<br />
communications are sent to staff<br />
to offer recycling guidance and<br />
to promote the environmental<br />
importance of recycling.<br />
• Cycle facilities and activities:<br />
The established storage and changing<br />
facilities in Ty Pennant allow numerous<br />
employees to cycle to work and<br />
participate in group social activities.<br />
Environmental Management<br />
We are currently developing an<br />
Environmental Management Strategy,<br />
which will help us to assess our<br />
strengths and weaknesses. It will also<br />
help us identify and manage significant<br />
impacts, secure cost savings and internal<br />
efficiencies, provide benchmarks for<br />
improvements and intended benefits and<br />
helps to keep track of progress.<br />
Meadow Prospect will continue to<br />
investigate the opportunities to establish<br />
new energy-related ventures cross the<br />
communities within RCT.<br />
