However, given their size and complexity efforts can be fragmented and have limited impact. Most agencies have engaged senior agency officials and relevant departmental staff with environmental and sustainability roles and responsibilities. Now, agencies recognize that the next step is to engage staff whose roles are not directly environmental, but whose actions directly impact the success of each agency in achieving its sustainability goals.
By training, building awareness of greater opportunity and aligning personnel around sustainability goals and initiatives, agencies can achieve synergy and economies of scale.
The Sustainability In Practice online learning library from Tripos provides solutions that mobilize people to participate in a wide range of initiatives – from energy efficiency, water conservation and waste reduction, to facility improvements, service innovations and new “green” procurement solutions.
