Environmental awareness is an important responsibility for modern organisations and their employees. Businesses operate within a wider environment that includes natural resources, ecosystems and communities. The decisions made in the workplace can influence energy use, waste production and environmental impact.

Many organisations now place increasing importance on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Customers, regulators and communities expect organisations to operate in ways that reduce environmental harm and support long-term environmental protection.

However, environmental responsibility is not limited to organisational policies or leadership decisions. Everyday actions taken by employees can also make a significant difference. Small decisions related to waste, energy use, materials and travel can collectively influence the environmental impact of an organisation.

This course helps employees understand how their actions at work affect the environment and explores practical ways to reduce environmental impact in everyday workplace activities.

Learners will be introduced to the CARE environmental model, a simple framework that supports responsible environmental behaviour in the workplace.
