Chartered Success for Dan
Reading !
The Green Blue is delighted to announce
that Dan Reading, the team’s Sustainability Officer has been
awarded Chartered Environmentalist status from the Society for the
Environment; formally recognising the environmental improvement
work he has carried out at The Green Blue.
As a full member of the
Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment Dan will be
able to keep himself and The Green Blue team up to date with
emerging legislation, and environmental best practice.
“I am extremely pleased
to have obtained chartered status as not only does this demonstrate
the quality of work that we have delivered but also acts to
reassure potential people we partner with that we work to a
recognised high standard”, commented Dan.
To obtain his chartered
status Dan had to demonstrate that he had achieved 4 years’
experience and a master’s level of knowledge in the field, as well
as pass a peer interview panel and a written paper.
“In his six years with
The Green Blue, Dan has had a tremendous impact, from guiding the
Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy to be the first
sailing venue in the world to achieve the ISO20121 standard to
working with all the major marina groups on a whole range of
environmental issues and just recently presenting at the ICOMIA
World Marina Conference. Not only has his work made a difference to
the environment – for example diverting millions of litres of waste
from landfill to recycling – but it has also resulted in
significant cost savings for some of these businesses. It is a huge
achievement for Dan to receive the accolade of chartered
environmentalist status and well deserved; of course it also
reflects well on The Green Blue and the quality of advice and level
of professionalism that the project can offer to the recreational
boating sector”, commented Project Manager Jane Swan.
As The Green Blue
continues to evolve to take advantage of new opportunities it’s
important that the team is equipped with the right blend of
experience, skills and knowledge to respond. Dan’s new Chartered
Status gives the team a welcome boost moving into 2015. Plans are
in place to increase the strong portfolio of partnerships and use
these as a platform to raise the profile of The Green Blue and
persuade even more boaters and boating businesses to do their very
best to reduce their impact on the environment.
