Investors in the Environment
Durham Community Action has achieved Bronze Level certification in our first year of Investors in the Environment accreditation.
The Investors in the Environment annual audit assesses five key areas of an organisation’s Environmental Management System (EMS). These areas include:
- Environmental policy
- Resource management and monitoring
- Progress against targets
- Action planning including social/ environmental projects
- Communication
Jo Holmes from Genee who conducted the audit said;
“‘We are thrilled to award Durham Community Action their Bronze Investors in the Environment Accreditation. They have shown real commitment in understanding, measuring and managing their environmental impacts. Their engagement outside of the organisation will ensure the impacts are not just felt by the organisation but all the stakeholders they work with.”
