Why Is This Course Important?
Every organisation has a legal, moral and financial responsibility to reduce environmental impact. The UK is already witnessing the repercussions of climate change with heatwaves and record-breaking temperatures. As a result, the government has introduced climate goals that every organisation must contribute to.
Investing in sustainable systems of work not only aligns with environmental goals but also makes good business sense. It helps organisations improve resource efficiency, cut down expenses and support long-term profitability at a time when costs for materials, energy and waste disposal are rising.
Our Environmental Awareness in Offices training programme equips participants with a comprehensive understanding of environmental issues and what they can do to address them. The course teaches practical strategies to reduce carbon footprints and minimise waste generation. It also helps organisations comply with environmental regulations and standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance and reputational damage.
Key Information
There were 331.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the UK in 2022.
