The transport department should look for opportunities to reduce energy use wherever possible.
Transport vehicles should be chosen with low fuel consumption, energy efficiency and low emissions as a priority. Plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles should be given consideration.
Equipment should be chosen with energy efficiency in mind and equipment should be switched off and unplugged when not in use.
Vehicle journeys should be planned to ensure fuel use/emissions are minimised.
Where different vehicles can be used for a particular purpose, please choose the vehicle with the lowest consumption and emissions.
Deliveries and collections of material and equipment should be optimised to minimise journeys and reduce fuel use/emissions.
Observe the no idling policy.
Circular Economy
Source materials and equipment which has the lowest environmental impact.
Place waste food, packaging and materials in the appropriate waste stream.
Carbon Calculator
Assist the Sustainability Advisor to obtain environmental information from suppliers.
Facilitate the collection of data on energy use, fuel use, materials use and transport for the carbon calculator.
