Ringway Worcestershire "LEAN and GREEN" initiative.










During June and July we will be launching our "LEAN and GREEN" initiative here in Worcestershire.
The LEAN aspect of the initiative will entail a Lean review of our administration processes followed by a LEAN review looking at the way we carry out footway works.
As part of our GREEN initiative we are discouraging the use of printing and asking that meetings are arranged with economy in mind. At the end of the month we will be launching our new fuel measures, initially looking at company cars. The measures will detail amounts of fuel used and the miles per gallon obtained for each vehicle and driver. We will be looking to reduce our fuel usage which is the fourth largest contributor to our carbon footprint here in Worcestershire.
