As the impacts of climate change become more eventful every year, an increasing amount of public policies are being implemented to tackle the growing issue and reduce Britain’s carbon footprint. Environmental awareness has become a major topic in both the private and public sectors, with every organisation having a duty to reduce its impact on the environment by operating a cleaner and ‘greener’ company policy.
From air, water and land pollution to waste & recycling practices, businesses stand at the forefront of any future efforts and hopes to solve the issue of climate change and prevent a climate crisis for current and future generations. Effective Environmental Awareness training provides your staff with the knowledge and awareness to meet their obligations.
