Our Environmental Champions' 2009 objective was to produce a clear set of environmental priorities, including roles and responsibilities for themselves, their line managers,business leaders and board members.

We asked all parts of the business to tell us what our environmental champions could and should do. This new approach will deliver real benefits to the business and it was launched at 5 roadshows in front of about 120 colleagues. Half of these people were new or potential champions and our project team is now working towards more mini roadshows for the 160 existing champions who could not be at the first roadshows.

A training curriculum has been developed to give environmental champions the knowledge and tools they need to support their role. The first two modules were piloted in our distribution business,reviewed and adapted slightly, and will be more widely available during 2010.
