Eco-code
Our Eco-Code
[Cymraeg]
Our eco-code informs our activities across the Ports Past and Present project. All project partners embrace the principles of sustainability. Here are some of the ways:
Waste Prevention, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- We will prevent, reduce, repair, reuse and recycle to minimise waste wherever possible.
- Manage waste generated according to the principles of the waste hierarchy
- Reuse of material will be given preference over acquisition of new items
Transport
- We will encourage more environmentally friendly ways for travel and organisation business will be conducted through the most environmentally sustainable mode of transport available
- Work collaboratively across units to reduce carbon emissions generated in by the project operations
- Reduce need for travel where possible using ICT
- Utilise, promote and enhance public transport wherever possible
Water
We will save water wherever possible:
- Turn off taps when not use
- Promote the use of reusable water bottles at events
- Follow water conservation best practice
Energy
- Turn off all heating/lighting when not needed
- Use heating controls to swiftly react to different daily heating needs
- Install effective insulation, close all doors/windows in winter
