The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (formerly the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) introduced green travel plans in 1999 as part of the MAFF greening operations strategy. This strategy was revised in 2001 to reflect cross Government targets and the organisational changes which resulted from the creation of DEFRA.
It is not possible to place copies of individual green travel plans in the Library as they are site specific, subject to local review and therefore change according to each site’s local circumstances and requirements. Facilities managers at each site are responsible for developing and maintaining them. This activity is checked at all sites covered under the Department’s Environmental Management System (EMS) ISO14001, during internal audit of the sites.
