The Registered Manager is responsible for ensuring our environmental responsibilities are met.

PCNW LTD is committed to implementing this Policy and the practices it sets out.

The Registered Manager must take action to manage risks and must ensure a full report is made of all management action taken.

Team suggestions 2024

 

Care workers shall consider how their working day effects our local environment. How we can make small differences with regards to our carbon footprint.

 

• Recycling and Waste must be processed according to the councils’ guidelines. Carers must be trained to ensure this is achieved and the correct recycling procedure is followed at multi occupancy builds as well as individual homes.

 

• PCNW LTD is committed to alternative modes of transport when employing new staff. It is possible to employ possible walk, bike, E-bike to calls. This greatly reduces emissions from petrol, diesel cars and therefore our carbon footprint as a business.

 

• Don’t let cars idle. Turn off engines in heavy traffic or when waiting in cars for any reason.

 

• Management to proactively use mileage from client to client efficiently.

 

• The office is mindful of how supplies are ordered and delivered so that our carbon footprint is reduced at all times.
