Environmental Awareness

Introduction

Businesses are beginning to realise that good environmental performance can have positive effects on their profits, reputation and society as a whole.

Being ‘green’ is not just a moral and social obligation for a business. It can also bring great financial benefits.

Environmental Awareness provides a basic introduction to the main environmental issues facing businesses today, and suggests various ways employees can change their habits in the workplace - to reduce waste and promote greener practices.

The course helps staff to be more environmentally aware, and in turn it will help businesses to establish and maintain good environmental practices.
