Promote Understanding
4. Promote Understanding
We commit to clearly articulate our climate action goals to our staff and relevant stakeholders, promote a sense of ownership in their execution and encourage a proactive approach by individuals to achieve these goals.
To get the type of “buy-in” needed to properly execute your charter commitments, it is vital to involve all stakeholders from the start. All too often planning and accountability for setting and achieving emission reduction targets are centred at board or executive level instead of sharing responsibility more equally across your organisation. Inform all stakeholders at all levels about your organisations declared policy to cut carbon emissions and about the wide ranging operational and cultural changes that this will involve. At all times promote dialogue and listen to feedback.
