Key Steps:
Adopting an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program
Step 8:
Initiating an Education and Awareness Effort
Determine your educational needs for implementing an EPP program. At a minimum, your education program should include information about the goals of the EPP program, how your business, employees, and the environment benefit from using EPP products, and how new products or practices will be evaluated. Also provide information on how employees will be trained to use the new product or practice and the type of mechanisms that will be used for obtaining and evaluating feedback from employees and product users. The education program should be available to existing as well as new employees. Consider a reward, such as movie tickets, or other recognition, such as a highlight in the company newsletter, for employees that go out of their way to educate themselves or others about a new product or practice.
