Sustainable Office Guide

This is a good time to re-evaluate our office spaces and business practices, and set a path to a more sustainable future. WWF UK have put together a handy Sustainable Office Guide to make it manageable for every business and organisation, regardless of size, to take action.

The guide explores 11 key topics, starting with the usual energy, water, and waste. We provide advice on reducing resource consumption, calculating outputs and translating these into emissions footprints, as well as ideas for next steps.

The Sustainable Office Guide is designed to help organisations begin considering how sustainability can be embedded within their business operations and to start their journey taking action on climate change.

Emission possible

Businesses are critical in the fight against climate change as they are the source of most of the world’s emissions. That’s why emission reporting is so important; it will shed light on where our biggest impacts are and where we need to focus our attention. We cannot realistically tackle the problem if we don’t know the full extent of it.

WWF UK know this process can be confusing and time-consuming, and want to help streamline it for you. They have created an emissions reporting guide to help you understand what to do and empower you to take action.

Improving the sustainability of organisations (something we do here at Energy Saving Trust) is becoming increasingly important every year as part of efforts to address the climate emergency. 18 % of the UK’s carbon emissions are from businesses and under the Climate Change Act, it is a legal requirement in the UK to reach net zero by 2050.

Wherever you might be on your sustainability journey, you need to have clearly defined targets to reduce your environmental impact. Improving the sustainability of your business operations will involve saving energy, water and waste through a comprehensive strategy and evaluation of efficiency.
