Environmental Policy

The Federation of Antenatal Educators (FEDANT) is committed to operating in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. We recognise our responsibility to minimise the environmental impact of our activities and to contribute positively to the conservation of natural resources.

FEDANT aims to integrate environmental considerations into its day-to-day operations, decision-making, and organisational culture. We seek to reduce waste, conserve energy, and promote sustainable practices wherever reasonably practicable.

Our Commitment

FEDANT will:

  • Use policies, procedures, and working practices that support environmental protection and sustainability.
  • Minimise adverse environmental impacts arising from our operations, including waste generation, energy consumption, and resource use.
  • Comply with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations, and best-practice guidance.
  • Regularly review and update our environmental policies and procedures to support continuous improvement.

All employees, contractors, and those working on behalf of FEDANT are made aware of this policy and their individual responsibilities in supporting environmentally responsible practices.

Energy Conservation

FEDANT operates an energy conservation approach to reduce unnecessary energy use. This includes:

  • Ensuring all non-essential electrical equipment is switched off when not in use.
  • Prioritising the purchase of low-energy and energy-efficient electrical equipment where feasible.
  • Encouraging responsible energy use across all working environments.

Waste Reduction and Resource Management

FEDANT seeks to reduce waste and promote responsible use of materials by:

  • Conducting tasks electronically wherever appropriate in order to minimise paper usage.
  • Encouraging digital communication, record-keeping, and documentation.
  • Purchasing products that are environmentally friendly, reusable, recyclable, and sourced responsibly wherever possible.
  • Reusing incoming packaging materials safely and appropriately where feasible.
  • Recycling materials in line with local recycling arrangements.

Communication and Availability

This Environmental Policy is communicated to all relevant staff and is displayed at FEDANT premises. It is also made publicly available via the FEDANT website to ensure transparency and accountability.

Review

This policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with FEDANT’s operational needs and environmental responsibilities.
