Course description

Understanding our environmental responsibilities is critical in today’s world of increasing climate risk and resource depletion. This Environmental Awareness course introduces learners to key environmental issues, sustainable practices, and legal compliance in workplace settings. It helps individuals and organisations reduce their environmental footprint through conscious behaviour and responsible operations.

Pollution, waste, energy use, and water consumption all have a measurable impact on ecosystems and human health. Without awareness and action, organisations may contribute to long-term environmental degradation and face reputational or legal consequences. This course encourages positive environmental behaviour across all levels of the workforce.

This course, developed by environmental management professionals at SEITECH International, provides practical guidance for identifying environmental risks, managing resources efficiently, and complying with legislation such as the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and ISO 14001:2015 standards.

It aligns with UK environmental law, the Waste Hierarchy, pollution prevention guidance, and supports sustainability goals aligned with corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies.
