A Measure of progress is essential reading for directors and managers responsible for environmental activities, and particularly targeted at FTSE 350 companies in the process of developing environmental performance and reporting processes.
The publication advocates that environmental issues should be integrated into existing management and measurement practices so as to meet both core business needs and wider stakeholder expectations.
A simple framework underpins the guide, which can be used by companies irrespective of whether they are ready to adopt an integrated approach to environmental management or not. It helps companies to:
- Review their existing processes and measure environmental performance
- Identify opportunities for improvement
- Incorporate environmental considerations into wider management processes
More than 40 companies contributed to the guide, which features over 20 case studies from leading companies such as BP, Unilever and BT, illustrating how they are tackling specific aspects of environmental performance measurement. The publication also includes a self-evaluation checklist, a review of leading environmental performance initiatives and sources of further information.
