Members will be aware that the Federation produces an Annual Report to ensure they are fully aware of the organisation's activities during the previous year. This, in turn, informs the debate and votes at the Annual General Meeting.

Like all environmentally aware organisations, the Federation wants to do more for the environment. It is apparent that using up significant quantities of paper is not the most sustainable option when there are far more efficient electronic alternatives. When we consider the efforts that individuals go to at home to recycle and live greener lifestyles, printing large amounts of documents seems a terrible waste.
 
Switching to an electronic Annual Report, to be viewed online or printed off individually as a PDF, not only benefits the environment but can also make members feel more positive, as individuals recognise the benefits of belonging to an organisation with a sustainable ethos. The Federation recognises that there are always changes which can be made to improve the overall sustainability of the organisation. In addition, it will also reduce the cost of producing and circulating the Annual Report, which is currently posted.

In order to provide an indication of the members views please complete the attached short, 3 questions, questionnaire.
