General management
Many institutions did not have systems in place to manage environmental and sustainability issues
Environmental and sustainability issues were given less priority in comparison to health and safety and equal opps (required by law)
Legislation
Institutions lacked awareness of legal requirements
Data

Very few report or have targets or KPIs
