1.3 Plan of action
Make a plan of action on the basis of the environmental mapping and your chosen measures. This will provide a good overview of what must be done, when and by whom.
A separate plan of action can be made for every work group within the event, or you may choose to make a separate plan for each environmental area. It is up to you to decide on the most practical solution.
The plan of action must contain:
- Concrete measures – what is to be done
- Manager – the person in charge
- Deadline – when the measure is to be accomplished
- Potential expenditure and gain
Example of plan of action, waste handling:
Measure | Area/Section | Investment/Resource requirement | Person in charge | Deadline | Possible gain |
Make waste handling plan, contact sponsor | Environmental concerns work group | Work hours | Environmental manager | January 15 | Less unsorted waste leads to lower costs. |
Make necessary preparations for waste sorting | Environmental concerns work group | Purchasing/sponsoring of cardboard boxes, waste bins. Putting up signs. Information. | Head of group Decorations manager |
February 1 | Potential profits from selling left-over plastic material, etc. |
Purchasing: demands on supplier to accept return of packaging material | Purchasing | (none) | Head of sales/purchasing | Continuous | Less left-over waste |
