"Climate change is most definitely a union issue. The workplaces that we organise - and seek to organise - burn energy, consume resources and generate waste." First Steps to a Greener Workplace, TUC, 2006

On these pages you'll find news, tips and useful information, campaigns and PCS policy on 'green' issues such as climate change, energy saving, waste and recycling.

We believe that green or sustainable workplaces should also take on board wider issues such as ethical investment, fair trade and workers' rights. 

The latest 'Becoming a greener union' report which updates progress on the recommendations in the report agreed at national conference 2008 is now available on the Resources pages.

For information about green events see the events pages.
