TDA picks up environmental awards

The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) has won two international environmental awards.

The TDA was awarded an ISO14001 certification and European Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) certification. It is one of only two government agencies to achieve this status, the other being the Environmental Agency in Bristol.

Graham Holley, Chief Executive of the TDA said: "I am delighted that TDA are leading the way forward. It is an honour to be recognised for our strategic approach to improving energy, resource and waste management, which is openly considered to be second to none, other than the Environment Agency in Bristol!

"The TDA is wholly committed to Education for Sustainable Development. We intend to set ourselves ever more ambitious targets and to seek constant improvement in this area. We hope this great achievement will inspire the rest of Whitehall to improve procedures that assume environmental and social responsibility."

The TDA was selected for its Environmental Management System (EMS) and was praised for energy and resource management, waste management and a Sustainable Development Action Plan (SDAP).
