As per the target we need to minimise the usage of the electricity by 15% in the whole
year and for this purpose we need to strictly follow their implementation plan. As per
the plan we need to switch off the lights when it’s not utilised. Further we need to
install the system that automatically switches off the Air Conditioner if we forget to
switch off it after working hours. The non-renewable resources like water can be
utilised minimum so that wastage can be reduced.The employees need to manage
the food stuff and other renewable resources.

The team is also liable to maintain a proper record of the resources utilised on the
monthly basis that helps in meeting their set sustainable target. The recording of
resource utilisation helps in setting goals for the upcoming month and with the help of
it they attain their set objectives.

Their ultimate motive is to record the resources utilised and also render adequate set
of training that helps in reducing pollution and increase the maximum utilisation of the
re-usable resources.

 In order to implement the plan it is highly required that employees make effective and
active participation because in the absence of this they are not able to execute their
plans accordingly and attain their results.

For the purpose of monitoring over the implementation plan the management must
prepare a team that helps in implementing the activities in systematic manner. The
team members are highly focused over the set activities that need to be performed by
every employee. They are authorised to put fine or penalise them if anyone of them is
not following the activities mentioned in their implementation plan.
