Description

The Docushop Corporate Responsbility and Sustainability Policy Template for businesses defines your corporate committment towards ethical and sustainable practices in your workplace for a better environment. This editable Word document is suitable for all business types and industries.

WHAT IS A SUSTAINBILITY POLICY TEMPLATE?

Sustainability is about creating a lasting legacy for the planet and for our people. A sustainability policy is in internal (and often external) policy that sets the minimum standards for your business when it comes to adopting sustaainable practices and principles.

This policy will help outline what your company stands for when it comes to corporate responsibility and sustainability, which is very important in this day and age.

WHY DO I NEED A SUSTAINBILITY POLICY TEMPLATE?

We are living in an era of climate change and other global environmental disasters. As we evolve and take responsibility for our part in these disasters, businesses too are expected to look at their policies, look at their operations and committ to a standard of improvement.

Having a sustainability policy is important so your staff and contractors know what the company wishes to do about sustainability and how that might affect staff in their daily roles.

Also, many clients will demand a company’s CSR policy – especially during a tender process or when looking to committ to large values of work.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS SUSTAINBILITY POLICY TEMPLATE?

The Docushop sustainability policy template includes a detailed list of potential ways a business can committ to sustainable practices across departments.

You can use this Sustainability Policy template and it's sample data as it is, or you can delete / add / amend data as you see fit.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A SUSTAINBILITY POLICY TEMPLATE?

Companies that have a sustainability policy show staff, clients, vendors and the greater community that they are committed to a better, brighter future for our plantet, and for those that live on and within it.

When you have staff, their personal sustainability values will vary differently, which might manifest as some people who actively recycle, others who don't. Some people who print every thing to review it, rather than using online systems to review. There are so many ways their personal values can vary, that having a sustainability policy gives them a base framework to build off of.

Often staff may not have thought about their consumption rates, or their own effect on the environement, and it is our duty as employers to help them understand the ways we operate, so that they may work within these bounds but also hopefully adopt better practices within their homes and general community.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T HAVE A SUSTAINBILITY POLICY?

Not having a sustainbility policy (even if you do care about the planet and as a person or business adopt mindful sustainability practices) can lead to confusion amongst staff when it comes to basic sustainability practices (using less water, printing less, recycling).

It is also useful to have when tendering for government work, or collaborating with other businesses, they may demand this as part of your selection process.
