The Place approach to Environmental Policy has three components:
a) a Statement of Intent (but you can call it whatever you like). This is a punchy easy-to-grasp statement of what matters to you. It also explains briefly who your organisation is, what it does, and what environmental responsibility means to you. This is also a great place to celebrate what you are already doing.
b) an Action Plan. The Place process collates suggestions from your leadership, staff, clients and stakeholders as to what specifically you might do to become more environmentally sustainable. Ideas are assessed through a process to determine effectiveness, cost and viability. You then choose which to include in your Action Plan for this year, which to tag for next year, and set a process to review and plan for the future.
c) Other Policies. Those areas identified as priorities in your Action Plan will need to be further developed into specific policies to guide your practice. Place provides a wide range of policy templates and samples. Choose a couple of specific policies to work on each year.
