Choose priorities
Using feedback gathered from staff and your selection criteria, choose 3‐5 priority
initiatives. First confirm the selection criteria you want to use. When determining your
selection criteria, think about what success will mean for your organization. Adapt the
selection criteria below as needed and ensure they align with your green policy and
guideline. Second, rank each of the green initiatives for how it meets each of the criteria
(e.g., 1‐5; high, medium, low). Third, review your green initiatives against your criteria
(e.g., have the highest scores). Worksheet 3 can be used to track and assess eco benefits
and selection criteria. Refer to the Top 10 Green Initiatives Spreadsheet for examples of
selection criteria. The spreadsheet also highlights associated ‘simple acts’ listed in the
One Simple Act at Work Reference Manuals.
