Green workplaces
"Climate change is most definitely a union issue. The workplaces that we organise - and seek to organise - burn energy, consume resources and generate waste." First Steps to a Greener Workplace, TUC, 2006
These pages feature news, tips and useful information, campaigns and
PCS policy on 'green' issues such as climate change, energy saving, waste and recycling.
We believe that green or sustainable workplaces should also take on board wider issues such as ethical investment, fair trade and workers' rights.
In 2005 PCS launched a Fair and Ethical Trade Purchasing Policy covering our procurement of merchandise & promotional items, office supplies, catering and PCS+ services for members.
