Annual Environmental Sustainability Reporting
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the RNAO commits to ongoing ecological footprint reporting that incorporates environmental sustainability metrics into its publicly available annual report, including an assessment of the organization’s waste, carbon footprint, and any applicable social and environmental impacts of its operations and investments.
Action
- For years, RNAO has advocated for environmental accountability and reporting in its support of successful campaigns like the right to know about toxins in Toronto and Ontario. RNAO recognizes that it is important to lead by example as well. RNAO has a policy that prohibits investment in fossil fuels. In response to this resolution, RNAO’s chief financial officer has developed metrics for inclusion in RNAO’s 2022 annual report: Waste and trash, Water consumption, and Energy performance. These metrics establish a baseline for future reporting.
