CCPR demonstrates its commitment to the environment
CCPR is the first sporting organisation to earn accreditation for implementing an environmental management system (EMS) to BSI standards under the Acorn Scheme. The scheme is a government recommended scheme for EMSs and provides a framework for CCPR to reduce its adverse impact on the environment.
In order to be accredited, CCPR identified which of its activities had the greatest environmental impact and implemented systems to measure them. CCPR has set targets to reduce their impact and will report back the results annually.
The IEMA Acorn Scheme offers accredited recognition for organisations evaluating and improving their environmental performance through the phased implementation of an environmental management system (EMS). Further information may be found here http://www.iema.net/acorn
