You may not get all three of these qualities in every individual on your team but getting a good mix and having all three represented within your team is key.

External help

While you as an individual aren’t expected to be an expert on every aspect of sustainability or your business, neither are your team. You will find that external support is available on all aspects of your programme, from strategy development or environmental management systems to resource efficiency or community investment. You may also find sustainability experts who specialise in your specific industry. Some outside assistance may be invaluable, whether it is just to get your programme moving or to help you find and make big savings.

Obviously external help can come at a cost and can be very expensive. Most companies will use a select group of sustainability suppliers based on their needs, time, budget, internal expertise and material issues.

There is good news. Despite these straitened economic times, free support is still available, particularly relating to resource efficiency. This tends to be provided on a regional basis, and you may need to meet certain criteria, for example, free support may only be available for SMEs, but it is worth a quick internet search or phone call to your local chamber of commerce, council or Groundwork team.
