Roadmap To Sustainability:
The Framework For Your Sustainability Strategy
The CHSA’s Roadmap to Sustainability is designed to help members move in the right direction, whatever their starting position. It offers value by:
- Informing and educating members on the sustainability agenda and associated issues;
- Providing members with a strategic way forward for developing their approach to sustainability; and
- Helping the membership align on sustainability and so drive the industry forward.
Fact Sheet: Five Pillars For Sustainability
Our Roadmap to Sustainability identifies Five Pillars to sustainability in our sector. They are:
- Product: as it is received, used and disposed of by the end user.
- Packaging: all the packaging of a product, throughout the supply chain.
- Transportation: encompassing the movement of raw materials and delivery to the end user.
- Social values: including mental wellbeing, personal development, community involvement and the overall ethical approach of the business, which includes sourcing from ethically and environmental sustainability suppliers.
- Corporate environmental impact covering waste, emissions and water.

Fact Sheet: Plastic Packaging Tax
Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) came into effect on 1st April 2022. Our Fact Sheet provides a brief overview of PPT. It will help you decide if the tax applies to you and, if it does, how to respond. If PPT does not, it will help you understand your wider responsibility and the records you are advised to keep.

Fact Sheet: Scope 1, 2 And 3
On the road to net zero, many organisations are trying to understand their emissions. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol categorises a business's emissions into Scope 1, 2 and 3, based on the different aspects of the business.
This Fact Sheet explains the three different emissions.

Fact Sheet: Zero Waste To Landfill
To achieve Zero Waste to Landfill certification the organisation has proved no waste is sent to landfill. All waste is reused, recycled, recovered, reprocessed or disposed of in an alternative way.
A variety of organisations can help you achieve zero waste to landfill certification. We have worked with one, Valpak, to develop this Fact Sheet.
