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 />

"A well organised and informative day,<br />

with excellent interaction with attendees.<br />

The trainers where very informative and<br />
