Description

Learning outcomes

  • You will understand the legal and ethical obligations upon an organisation to manage the impact of your work activities on the environment
  • You will understand the impact of waste on the environment
  • You will learn about the impact of legislation
  • You will become aware of the specialist advice, guidance, and support available to reduce negative impacts on the environment

Advantages of this course

  • Every organisation, no matter what the industry or specific nature of their work activities, has a legal and ethical obligation to manage the impact of those activities on the environment. A manager can take direct action to influence this impact, and advocate for environmental sustainability from within. Compliance with the law is the minimum requirement, but an innovative and ethical organisation will take extra measures to reduce their impact and, in many cases, find new, more efficient ways of working. This can lead to an increase in positive public perception, reputation, and profitability as a result.
  • This course draws together teaching and legislation on developing a sustainable workplace. It also brings together a list of sources of specialist advice on environmentally friendly practices.
  • Training is given through a filmed tutorial, references to websites for reading and good practice video
  • There is suggested extended reading to give both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge
  • An additional activity encourages you to reflect on your learning

On successful completion of this course, you will receive a Laser e-Certificate (included in the course price).

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
