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.

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

- Responding to Net Zero
- Greenhouse Gas reporting

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.
