There is a growing call from society and government for UK businesses
to operate more sustainably,
and there are benefits for companies that do so. These range from
increased profitability as a result of more efficient resource use
to improved corporate image due to more environmentally and socially
sound practices.
'MaSC has shown that despite the mystique
that surrounds it, sustainability is achievable. We leapt a considerable
number of months, if not years through engaging in the process.
Richard McCarthy, Chief Executive, Peabody Trust.

What
is MaSC?
MaSC facilitates the introduction and development of more sustainable
business practices. It has proved to be a highly effective
approach, helping businesses that are introducing sustainable practices
for the first time as well as those that have gone some way down the
road but want to develop existing practices. Both the supply and the
demand side of the industry can use it - clients, developers, designers
and contractors, and it can be used by any size of business from small
and medium-size organisations, up to global businesses.
How can MaSC help you?
Making the decision to improve your company's commitment to sustainability
is easy, but putting it into practice can be a more difficult and
daunting task. MaSC helps to simplify the process by helping you to
identify the key changes that need to be made in your company, set
targets and develop an action plan. Please contact the MaSC
Team if you would like to discuss how they can help you
to develop more sustainable practices.
The first step is to gauge your
company's current position and identify the key drivers for change.
This is followed by an 'Accelerated'
Strategic Review to:
• set objectives
• develop an action plan
• assign responsibilities
• rehearse strategies to implement the planned changes
• set targets for continuous improvement.
The final MaSC report identifies the
actions that need to be taken and how they can be implemented, together
with benchmarking information, comparing your company to others in
your sector. This action plan is the key document that paves the way
for change.
A Progress Review can be carried out
12 months later to assess achievements, identify any outstanding actions
and, if necessary, set new targets to ensure continual improvement.
This maintains company focus and maximises results.
