Training for SMEs

Most leaders we speak to already know there is opportunity for change, however, between running the business, managing the team and keeping on top of everything else, sustainability can feel like one more complicated thing on an already long list.

We work with SMEs across sectors to build practical sustainability capability, in a way that's realistic about your capacity, relevant to your context, and focused on action you can actually take.

We offer four courses for SMEs:

Carbon Literacy
Climate Essentials
Sustainability for HR & Greening Culture

Carbon Literacy

Carbon Literacy is “An awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.”

This one-day certified course is an effective opportunity to upskill on climate essentials, gain tangible ideas to commence or progress your sustainability ambitions, and gain a certificate to showcase your commitment to customers. In addition to sharing core knowledge on climate risks and opportunities, our interactive activities help to progress your climate action, tailored to your context and aims.

Whether you want to upskill and train your staff yourselves or have us as your delivery partner we can help!

Delivery

We can deliver the course directly to your teams. Tailoring the course to your context and aims. We support the whole course from pre-course materials to submissions.

Support

Learners need to submit evidence to the Carbon Literacy Project to get certified. We'll review their work and offer 1-2-1 support where needed.

Upskill

If you want to take the training in-house, we offer a facilitator support programme, and can co-facilitate sessions while you gain the confidence to go solo.

This internationally-renowned workshop series is perfect to understand the science and co-create solutions inspired by it.

Sustainability for HR and Greening Culture

Organisational Change

Most sustainability strategies stall not because of lack of ambition, but because the culture hasn't caught up. HR teams are uniquely placed to change that. From recruitment and induction to learning and development, the way you shape your organisation's people practices has a direct influence on whether sustainability becomes embedded or stays a policy on a shelf.

This three-hour session is designed specifically for organisation leaders and HR professionals who want to move beyond awareness and start taking meaningful action.

Together, we'll explore what sustainability really means in the context of your role and remit, and use our Sustainable Culture Framework to identify practical steps across skills, processes and culture. You'll leave with a clearer picture of where your organisation is now and where you can make the most difference.
