Sustainable workplaces
Building a greener, more sustainable workplace helps the planet and improves employee health and wellbeing.
Why environmental sustainability matters for health and wellbeing
Environmental sustainability means looking after our planet so future generations can enjoy natural resources (such as clean air and safe water) and a healthy environment.
It’s about making choices that protect nature and improve health. As an employer, you have a big role in making your workplace greener and healthier.
By using environmentally friendly practices, businesses can create:
- healthier spaces
- reduce stress
- boost employee wellbeing
The Environment (Wales) Act 2016 (opens in a new window) outlines what the Welsh Government is doing to protect and improve natural resources in Wales.
