Hi all - I am hoping to support our Trust's neonatal team to embed sustainability into governance and practice, through our Trust's 10 step sustainability framework that our fab sustainability department have made and supported a number of departments and directorates to introduce (Newcastle upon Tyne). I'm also hoping to negotiate buy in for this to be introduced at board level - and also trying to collate some feedback on the framework from our early adopter departments / directorates.
I'm just wondering:
a) if anyone has any feedback on just eyeballing the outline of the framework?
b) if any other Trusts/businesses have a framework for embedding sustainability in this sort of manner, that you would be happy to share / discuss? and wins / challenges for implementing them?
c) if anyone can share successes for strengthening / utilising green champion networks?
