Question · Action Scorecards 2025
To meet the criteria, the council needs to have either:
- An employee representative (trade union or equivalent form of staff representation) sitting on the Climate Action Working Group (or equivalent).
- An agreement between the council and employee representative body (including recognised trade union) making explicit reference to contributing to climate change related work.
- Employee representatives bodies were consulted during the development of the Climate Action Plan and there are plans in place to continue engaging employee representative bodies in matters relating to the implementation of the Climate Action Plan.
By employee representative bodies we include the council’s recognised trade unions as well as other forms of non-union employee representation (ex. Employee forums).
Green Champions Networks as well as other informal staff networks are not valid for a mark.
