Reducing energy consumption and waste
We're implementing practical measures to reduce energy consumption and switch to more sustainable means of production. We are also working closely with our communities, education providers, businesses and partners on supporting their sustainability goals.

Staffordshire Sustainability Board
The Staffordshire Sustainability Board was created in 2022. The purpose of the board is to gather the Elected Members (Sustainability/Waste Management portfolio) from councils in Staffordshire to allow discussion on the relevant environmental sustainability issues, debate matters affecting multiple authorities and decide outcomes and objectives for collective projects.
