IEMA-certified training helps environmental performance05 July 2012

A new training programme aimed at skilling-up managers and others on environmental management and sustainability is now available from the British Safety Council.

The IEMA Associate Certificate in Environmental Management teaches people how to identify environmental risks and implement measures to improve environmental management systems and procedures.

According to John Phillips, director of qualifications and standards at the British Safety Council, the 10-day course will help organisations to reduce costs, control environmental risks, improve their business reputation and win new business.

"Businesses are facing ever-greater legal, financial and reputational pressure from customers, suppliers and regulators to reduce the environmental and social impacts of their day-to-day activities, products and services," comments Phillips.

"This course not only provides managers, supervisors and other representatives with the knowledge and skills to ensure their organisation complies with environmental laws and best practice," he continues.

"It also provides the tools to implement sustainable development practices, such as reduced use of energy and raw materials, more efficient use of the supply chain and more sustainable products and services."

The IEMA Associate Certificate in Environmental Management costs £1,560 + VAT, plus £135 IEMA membership fee, to British Safety Council members. For non-members, the qualification costs £1,760 + VAT plus £135 IEMA membership fee.
