ETNA SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT

We are pleased to announce we have been working with Sustain Quality who have completed an Eco Audit funded by City Bridge Foundation. The audit covered the following aspects of the charity and our building:

  • Policies
  • Energy
  • Waste
  • Water
  • Health and Wellbeing

What we are already doing

  • An Environmental Policy which can be found here

  • Sustainable Procurement Policy for new goods and services

  • Double Glazed Windows

  • LED Lights and Motion Sensors in most of the building

  • Quooker Boiling Water Tap and Energy Efficient white goods

  • Mixer taps with sensors to reduce waste

  • Bicycle racks for sustainable travel

  • Segregating Waste – food, mixed recycling, and composting

What we plan to do!

The team are currently looking at ways to fund the following initiatives to create a sustainable community building, to reduce our carbon footprint.

  • Measure all waste

  • Water Butts to be strategically placed to capture rainwater

  • Additional Hot Composter to allow more food waste recycling

  • Implement Indoor Plants throughout the Centre

  • Replacement of last few fluorescent light bulbs with LED and Motion Sensors in communal spaces
  • Installation of Solar Panels

  • Insulation of loft and flat roof

ETNA would like to thank City Bridge Foundation for funding the Eco Audit and allowing us to take the next steps to creating a sustainable Centre
