Green businesses mean business
 
Managing environmental risks effectively can lead to creation of new products, sustainable markets, cost savings, community goodwill, and enhance your reputation.
 

Learn why sustainability is important, how to prepare the business case, and how to implement greening in your organisation and reap the benefits. Get a grip on how to assess your position and risk, formulate policy in line with legislative and international requirements, and find funding with Greening Your Business.

This year we are extending the course into a second volume. Volume Two contains five new modules:
  • Environmental policymaking
  • Responsible facilities management
  • Greening your supply chain
  • Responsible event management
  • Living sustainably
 

For business managers, executives, staff and owners who need to understand what it takes to manage environmental risks, realise cost savings, materialise and fund new products, and communicate their sustainability.

For anyone who needs to create and implement environmental policy, manage facilities, is involved in procurement and product development, is responsible for event management, or who seeks to live more sustainably.

For anyone who wants to make lifestyle changes that lighten their personal footprint on the planet. You don’t have to do the whole course – skip directly to the final module of Volume Two.

 

Each module in these practical and focused multimedia courses includes case studies, templates, exercises, self-assessments, a guide to formulating your own sustainability plan and a host of useful links.

What participants have said:

"Gives order to what needs to be done; pitched at the right level."
