This one-day course provides delegates with an introductory framework to understand sustainability in a business context, and the techniques to implement, manage and improve sustainability performance within their own organisation.

The course provides examples of some of the main sustainability drivers in the chemicals sector and best practice techniques for their effective management, including change management and departmental alignment. The course explains how managing sustainability can support strategic and operational business objectives and drive competitive advantage. The course will be relevant for those new to sustainability but will also be useful to those currently involved in the sustainability agenda looking to advance sustainability performance.
