Environmental Management for a sustainable Sutton

.....action today for a better tomorrow

To help us comply with our Environmental Policy and achieve our goals we use an environmental management system called EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). This European standard requires all the Council’s Services to follow an environmental action plan to reduce their environmental impact.

Independent EMAS auditors visit the Council every six months to ensure that we are upholding our high standards of environmental management.
