Working within the Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce our Circular Tayside team must remain unbiased in our assessment of the office Charter, we reviewed our process multiple times
The charter journey for the Chamber of Commerce team has been fairly direct with measures already implemented on improving their business practice before the start of the charter process even. Minor promises and major adjustments to waste management in the office, opting out of using single use plastics on the water cooler and switching to a green energy provider in the late months of 2020. The carbon footprint of Dundee and Angus Chamber of commerce is being monitored and offset with external methods such as planting trees (http://ow.ly/GlMP50I5wwK) and looking towards internal methods such as LED lights.
Charter review by Donna Bell:
“Getting involved with the Charter was an exercise we did to help us understand how accountable we were as a business in waste and being more astute in how circular we can be.
Looking at ways we can implement changes has ensured that we are aware of the waste we create and where it goes. The Charter is a great start for any business looking to improve their carbon footprint and to make the work environment at the forefront of what it does which helps the business and engages the team.”
