Implementation and Monitoring |
This policy will form part of all trustee, staff and volunteer induction programmes. Environmental matters will be a regular agenda item at trustee and staff meetings. The RA Environmental Committee will have overall responsibility for monitoring the implementation of this policy on behalf of RA trustees. RA’s Environmental Policy will be reviewed and the list of actions monitored and updated annually by RA trustees. A report on the actions in this policy will be included in RA’s annual report. |
