You’ve got environmental ambitions but are these shared by your workforce?
We deliver a number of high quality, environmental training programmes, including Carbon Literacy, which are designed to empower your employees to act more sustainably, in-line with your environmental objectives.
What is environmental training & should my business be doing it?
Environmental training can cover a number of environmental topics from the risks facing the planet to environmental legislation, to personal responsibilities.
Our most popular, and accessible, environmental training course is Carbon Literacy (see below for more information).
In addition, we offer a number of technical environmental training courses which support employees who have a specific environmental role and responsibility such as management or auditing.
Our training can of course be used to support or drive our wider service offer which will be tailored to your needs.
Environmental training courses can be delivered in-house, at one of our premises or remotely online. Our environmental consultants have first-hand experience in a number of sectors and bring recent, real world examples into the training room in order to connect with trainees.
Carbon Literacy Training
Carbon Literacy is; a one day course certified by the Carbon Literacy Trust designed for anyone in your workforce to get to grips with zero-carbon living and working.
The Carbon Literacy training covers the science behind climate change using interactive techniques, and requires delegates to identify and commit to individual and work-based action plans.
The course includes a strong focus on knowledge transfer and peer to peer learning. This allows you to use the training to underpin your climate action plans as a business and to bring your staff team with you.
