Workplace Sustainability: Policy, Procedures, and Monitoring Strategy

This report outlines the development of a workplace sustainability policy and related procedures. The policy focuses on improving packaging, efficient resource use, and reducing toxins. Key areas include minimizing toxic materials, life cycle management, and continuous improvement, implemented through technology upgrades. Expected outcomes involve eco-friendly products, cost reduction, and improved efficiency. Responsibilities are assigned to management and staff, with KPIs such as water and energy bills, fuel usage, and production hours used to measure performance. The procedures emphasize minimizing resource use, resource efficiency, reducing toxic materials, employing life cycle management, and continuous improvement. A monitoring strategy includes targets for reducing electricity and gas usage, plastic consumption, and toxic cleaning products. Actions to achieve these targets involve limiting electricity use, using LED lighting, and adopting natural cleaning products, requiring resources like time, funds, and expert personnel. The report suggests a timeline of approximately six months for achieving objectives, with administration, HR, and operations departments accountable for completion.

Workplace sustainability policy (Part F)
 Scope of each policy: Improving the packaging of food will help attract more customers,
efficient use of resources will help minimising the generation of waste during product
development and reduction in the usage of toxins will be safe for the environment.
 Areas to sustainability policy: Minimising the usage of toxic and hazardous materials will
be safe for the environment as less waste will be generated. Also, various life cycle
management approaches will help the business to improve its overall sustainability
performance. Continuous improvement will help in enhancing the overall performance.

Cont.…
 Most appropriate method of implementation: Implementing technology that makes less
use of chemicals and hazardous toxins will be safe for the environment and help the
business to sustain the market. Also, the technology will consume less energy as well as
water.
 Expected outcomes: Expected outcomes include production of products that are

managers will be responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of the policies. The staff will
also have the responsibility of following various rules and regulations.
 KPIs: KPIs that will be used to measure the performance of the policies include water and
energy bills, usage of fuel by technology, overall performance of the organisation in the
market, total number of hours spent on developing products etc. All of these will indicate
the level of performance of all the three policies in the company.

Task 3

Develop and communicate sustainability
procedures (Part A)
There is a specific procedure which may develop and communicate in order to implement
sustainability policy at the workplace that may related to aspects given below:-
 Minimising resource use
 Resource efficiency
 Reducing toxic material and hazardous chemical use
 Employing life cycle management approach
 Continuous improvement

Develop monitoring strategy (Part C)
Targets to achieve
 To reduce the usage of electricity by 5%.
 To reduce usage of gas by 6%.
 Reduce usage of plastic and Styrofoam materials and increase reuse and recycling.
 Reduce usage of conventional cleaning toxic products.

Cont.…
Discuss the actions to address each target.
 To reduce the usage of electricity by 5%.
1. Limit use of electricity.
2. Use of right light such as LED because it use 75 % less electrical compare to incandescent
bulb.

Cont.…
 Resources required to implement the action required.
For this resources required are time, funds, insulated sheet, ducting Panel, expert person,
natural cleaning products, advance technology, LED Bulb, training program and many others.
