Our expert-led, in-person IEMA Pathway to Net Zero training gives employees in your business the accredited skills and practical strategies to confidently navigate your journey to Net Zero

Delivering the IEMA Pathways to Net Zero course

Introduction

Groundwork’s experienced trainers and sustainability experts deliver IEMA’s Pathway to Net Zero 2-day, accredited training course to provide leaders and managers with a strategic and operational overview of environmental sustainability.

Our courses take place in-person in venues across the UK, providing more interactive opportunities throughout the training and the added value of gaining insights and experiences from others on the course.

By taking part in the IEMA Pathways to Net Zero training you’ll develop practical strategies to navigate Net Zero, stay ahead of regulations and be in a good position to meet supply chain demands.


What Does Pathways to Net Zero Training Cover?

Over the two day IEMA Pathway to Net Zero course the training will cover:

  • Why Net Zero is important
  • Responding to Net Zero
  • Greenhouse Gas reporting
  • Carbon neutrality
  • Net Zero methodology
  • Developing a decarbonisation plan
  • Net Zero across the value chain
  • Communicating Net Zero

You’ll be required to complete a short, multiple choice quiz at the end of the training (completed off site, in your own time), once successful we will post you your certificate.

“ I learnt so much and it was excellent sharing knowledge between the group, to see how we are dealing with it in our industries”
