ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

FIELD CENTRE GOES GREEN

Recently the Dulwich College Field Centre entered in to a Wales wide environmental scheme for businesses, The Green Dragon Environmental Standard.

“The Green Dragon Environmental Standard is unique to Wales and offers an environmental management system relevant to the specific needs of Welsh organisations. Appropriate for both large and small organisations, in any industry or business sector, it rewards action taken to achieve environmental improvements. Green Dragon consists of five levels and can be geared to a pace and ability to suite individual organisations, enabling them to demonstrate effective environmental management.” (Who makes a Big Difference To Your Business?, Cambrian Printers 2003)

After a series of consultancy visits reports were written on the business as it stands currently, and from these reports the following documents were drawn up

• An environmental statement
• An environmental improvement plan
• Table of legislation that effects the Field Centre

The Field Centre has subsequently been awarded Level 2 of the Green Dragon Environmental Standard. There are benefits for the environment and for the Field Centre; energy reduction, less waste production, and specific promotion for ‘Green' accommodation businesses etc.
