Phoenix Health & Safety partners with IEMA to offer environmental awareness courses for businesses across the UK
When a report by CDP Global revealed that 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions in the last two decades, it is no surprise that interest in sustainability, environmental governance and training is on the rise. In the last 12 months, searches for corporate sustainability have doubled, averaging at around 1.6k searches per month, showing just how important the area is becoming.
We’ve also seen ‘Net-zero, carbon-free by 2040’ business pledges being made by corporate giants such as Amazon, BT and Deloitte, who are promising to take action and reduce their environmental impact on the planet.
But it isn’t just large companies that need to take action on environmentalism, organisations of any size can make operational and cultural changes to reduce their impact. However, this change requires awareness and knowledge at all levels of a business to help drive change.
That’s why, as one of the UK’s leading health & safety providers, we at Phoenix Health & Safety have partnered with IEMA, professionals in business sustainability, to offer a range of courses that promote the awareness of environmental and sustainability issues within the workplace. These courses help fully equip leaders and organisations with the resources and tools to meet real-world needs.
Our in-depth courses offer a range of skills, including professional training in how to collect data, perform analysis and evaluate information to improve operations for a more sustainable future:
-IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management
