Environmental Awareness Training

Global warming and other environmental issues have made it critical that companies today ensure that their systems and operating methods do no harm to the environment.
Indeed, harsh fines and penalties will follow companies who neglect their environmental responsibilities, and many companies seeking ISO14001 accreditation or membership of the IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment).

However, no company can do this without the co-operation of its workforce. This awareness course aims to help workers understand the environmental aims of the company, and the need for “green” principles.
