
The College operates an Environmental Management System (EMS) certified to
the Green Dragon Environmental Standards.
The Green Dragon Standard is split into 5 levels that assist organisations to
develop and implement an EMS in a structured approach.
Initially achieved level 2 at the Hill in 2005
2007 achieved level 2 across all 6 campuses
2008 achieved level 3 across all 6 campuses
In July 2009, Groundwork (Wales) conducted an environmental audit against
the requirements of level 4 of the Green Dragon Environmental Standard. As a
result of the audit the college was successfully awarded level 4 of the standard
with no issues or non-conformities being identified.
Level 4 is equivalent to ISO 14001
Work has now commenced on level 5 – a proposed date for achieving this
standard is December 2010

Achievements
Environmental Achievements 08/09
 Achieved Green Dragon Environmental Standard level 4 at all 5 campuses
 72.87% of all waste produced was recycled and prevented from being sent to
land fill sites
 100% of all paper and cardboard disposed of via the blue bin scheme was
recycled
 A 6.47% reduction in the total energy used throughout the college
 A 11% reduction in direct CO2 emissions
 A 5.35% reduction in water usage across the college
 Achieved level 3 of the Welsh Assembly Governments ‘Sustainable Procurement
Assessment Framework’.
 Environmental training provided to over 300 staff
 There were no pollution or environmental reports received from any
environmental enforcing agency.
 Shortlisted for the 2010 Envirowise Public Sector Sustainability Award
Waste Management
Waste Management
During 2008-2009 the college reduced the overall tonnage of waste by 243 Tones when compared
to 07-08. The actual waste produced was 565 Tones of waste with 416 Tones of the total waste
being recycled - 72.87% of all waste produced by the college being recycled.
During 2008-2009 the college continued to improve on the recycling of paper and included the
recycling of cardboard through the blue bin scheme as a result a 100% of all paper and cardboard
disposed via the blue bins was recycled
Energy Management
Energy
 For the third consecutive year the college achieved a substantial reduction in
its total energy consumption. One of the environmental aims and objectives
set by the college for 2008-2009 was to achieve a reduction of 2.5% across
the college based on 2007-2008 consumption. The total combined energy
consumption for 2008-2009 equated to 7673442kWh a reduction of some
1700899 kWh when compared to 2007 – 2008. This equated to a substantial
6.47% reduction on the previous year.

Carbon Emissions
For the third consecutive year the college achieved a substantial reduction in
its total CO2 emitted. One of the environmental aims and objectives set by
the college for 2008-2009 was to achieve a reduction of 2.5% across the
college based on its 2007-2008 emissions.

The total carbon emissions for the college during 2008-2009 was 4973.68
Tonnes CO2e, a reduction of some 591.73 Tonnes CO2e, when compared to
2007-2008, this equates to a comprehensive 11% reduction in CO2e
emissions from energy and transport use. This value was calculated using
correction factors provided by the carbon trust and based on the energy
consumed and mileage covered by the college minibuses and staff business
mileage.

Implementation of the EMS system
Comprehensive waste management contract
Quarterly environmental / waste audits
Monthly energy monitoring of all campuses
K2N tracking and monitoring system for energy
Reducing heating and process loads in buildings by upgrading the
insulation and control systems.
Improving lighting efficiency by upgrading old fluorescent tubes to
more efficient high frequency types and installing improved controls.
Enhancing utility monitoring arrangements through the implementation
of monitoring & targeting and investigating the improvement of submetering arrangements of buildings.
Implemented Power-Save software for all PC’s and Mac’s
Implemented environmental awareness training programme for staff


Achieve level 5 of the Green Dragon Environmental Standards
Further development of environmental training
Documents within the EMS will be controlled to prevent mistakes.
Further develop the data collection process on transport, both direct and
indirect, to ensure accurate carbon emissions can be calculated.
Development of travel plans for staff
Reduce energy and water use by 2.5% across all campuses
Continue to take into account energy efficiency at the design stage for all new
building projects and refurbishment work.
Achieve level 4 of the Sustainable Procurement Assessment Framework
(SPAF),
Further reduce the waste sent to landfill and increase recycling where
practicable
