INTRODUCTION

A company's environmental impact starts from the core operations associated with
its management to the coordination of all production activities, ultimately affecting
the company's overall profitability.
Addressing environmental challenges requires a commitment that begins with an
individual's efforts to change the way they act. This will lead to significant changes
in the development of the company. The purpose of this report is to investigate
the impact and level of personal change in the staff of a department at Anglia
Ruskin University in terms of environmental issues and the impact of these
changes on the university.

Problems of the case

✓ According to Kane, the carbon footprint represents the cumulative amount of
greenhouse gases quoted based on a similar amount of CO2 for which a
person, organization, product or situation is responsible.
✓ Gases are produced by commonly used products and services (Kane 2009,
p. 51). To fully understand the environmental impact of greenhouse gases,
we need to identify them.
✓ By identifying greenhouse gases, people can make the necessary
adjustments to control their environmental impact. An approximation of my
annual carbon footprint.
✓ We made assumptions when calculating this carbon footprint because it is
difficult to estimate some of the data we need. In fact, this session was very
educational as it clearly demonstrated my personal involvement in the global
warming issue. This has led to individual decisions to limit the use of air
travel around the world to a smaller number.
✓ Another great level of impact came from water heating and this can be
lowered through utilizing a modern water heating appliance as well as
minimizing on the amount of water to be boiled.
Environmental Regulations
Anglia Ruskin University’s (ARU) regulation on environment is a significant
outline that acts like a roadmap for attaining the goal of a more conducive
environment not only for the university but also for its stakeholders.
The regulations were enacted as per the requirements of the ISO 14001, a globally
utilized measure of Environmental Coordination Framework (ECF).
The ECF used in the Anglia Ruskin University will deal with various applications
through which an environmental effect could be evident, ranging from the
acquisition of goods to the actual surroundings of the Anglia Ruskin University
itself as well as increasing understanding among the university’s beneficiaries
(Anglia Ruskin University 2008).
The environmental policy for the university takes into consideration the impact its
day-to-day operations has on the atmosphere and looks into reducing this impact
by adopting the ECF.

Green Impact Award (GIA) to reduce potential environmental impacts

The GIA is a standard structure, award program offered under the National Union
of Students (NUS) policy that supports a wide range of environmental impact
awards. Participation in this program is voluntary as it aims to reduce potential
environmental impacts through rewards, rewards and celebrations by people and
departments for tangible environmental achievements (NUS 2011).
The program aspects are grouped into four classifications which need various
criteria to be satisfied before qualifying for the award (U.S Global Change
Research Information Office 2009). The criteria include: Bronze – which consists
of 20 criteria to be satisfied prior to qualifying for this environmental ward Silver
– which needs 15 criteria to satisfactory qualify for this award Bonus: this
category involves 60 criteria to be satisfied. Fulfilling a greater percentage of these
criteria as possible would improve the chances for the entrants to attain a bronze or
silver award. Special award: this category has 5 criteria. Satisfying these
requirements, the entrant would obtain the Best-Student award, Environmental
Champion also known as the Best Innovation prize.
Team In this report, we will take a look at the EasyPeasy group, which is one of
the various groups the team has for auditing. In essence, the EasyPeasy group
consisted of employees from the Learning and Development Department and
Digital Copy Department at Anglia Ruskin University College. This group is
responsible for the development of educational programs, print production and
binding of paid teaching and learning materials, as well as external printing
operations. below summarizes the teams that applied for the Green Impact Award.

Challenges faced during auditing

➢ At first the EasyPeasy group encountered challenges and obstacles to the Green
Impact Award as could be apparent in other organizations that must adopt
adjustments (Anglia Ruskin University 2010).
➢ The challenges were that EasyPeasy team needed more time to implement all
the changes and that there was a general feeling that staff were being forced
into GIA.
➢ In response to these concerns the group focused on the following: Introduced
the green lunch program with a view of motivating and encouraging its
participants Shared work equally through the introduction of hat dips
Incorporated a Green Impact Award guidelines in its day to day operations The
above plans served as an incentive package for keeping the entire group
functioning and creating the need for personal contribution and responsibility
of the various roles documented in the Green Impact Award roadmap.

Sustainable Education
➢ Sustainable education refers to a permanent learning program whose purpose is
that of coming up with knowledgeable people dedicated to engage necessary
activities with a view of ensuring a sound environment and socioeconomically
successful future (Creighton 1999). As contributions to the sustainable
education.
➢ ARU can utilize the greening of the university in teaching and advocating the
aspects of capacity building and leadership of the physical universe, and also
increasing the opportunities of descent and positive domestic and international
environment in the future (Engel 2002).
➢ The greening project in ARU in addition provides a chance for the management
to incorporate sustainability education chances for both the students and staff
 and other internal and external stakeholders. The ARU was number ten and
attained an award way back in 2010 which indicates the environmental
awareness of the UK’s universities and which is under the management of The
People and Planet program (People & Planet 2011).
➢ Contributing to this kind of operations like the Green Impact Award, allows the
ARU increase its recognition for being an environmentally accountable
organization that appreciates the international environment challenge and is
flexible of changing with a view of reducing its impact therefore enhancing the
ARU’s reputation, improving its possibility for funding and bring about a
general client fulfilment.
➢ An Individual's Perspective Participation in the Green Impact Award audit,
which is part of a requirement for this course, provided an opportunity to
observe and understand the challenges involved in implementing and
implementing environmentally sound lifelong programs, particularly in the
workplace. This course has raised knowledge and awareness of concerns that
everything must be done in accordance with environmental regulations to
prevent environmental degradation.

Solutions of audit report

Eco-map represents an innovative tool that creates a set of environmental norms
and issues, a clear environmental audit, to promote the adoption of effective
environmental coordination systems and provide a clear and simple way to
document and track environmental change.

In 2010 auditing report, the team managed to win the Bronze prize. Based on my
evaluation as an auditing member to the EasyPeasy group, it is rather likely for
this group to work toward achieving the Silver prize in this current auditing period
since they have adopted numerous promising steps to their last audit report.

One key concept the group implemented to address its environmental concerns
was the adoption of Green Lunch, which is a chance for the group participants in
meeting, eating ‘green’ and discussing concerns and methods the team could
utilize to enhance and reduce their effect to the environment.
Conclusion

Assessment of an individual's day-to-day performance is important for making

change both when an organization is in a dilemma, when others are dissatisfied
with its performance, and when others do not control their behavior. .
Modernizing the environment is a shared agenda and all organizations must
enjoy their activities and, in addition, take responsibility. Therefore, citizens will
enjoy and take responsibility for a better and more promising future.
