Description:
The Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government supports the initiatives set out in the Government decision of January 2019 for Government Departments and public bodies to – - lead the way in reducing generation of single use plastics; - demonstrate their commitment to sustainable development, and; - influence others regarding the changes required to reduce their impact on the environment. The Energy Performance Officer in the Department will ensure that the bodies under the aegis of the Department will provide timely and quality input for the – - annual strategic report to be provided by the Minister; - annual Memorandum for Government on the implementation of the Public Sector Energy Efficiency Strategy, and; - progress to the 2020 target. The Resource Efficiency Action Plan for this Department required from this decision arises from the context of our Environmental Policy Statement (Appendix 1). That Statement recognises that good environmental performance is as relevant in our workplace as in the home and elsewhere, and is accordingly an integral part of our day-to-day management and activities. We acknowledge the office environment is demanding on many resources, including energy, water, paper, equipment and other consumables. In this regard and as part of our green housekeeping policy, we have placed particular emphasis on conservation and maximising energy efficiencies.Corporate name:
