Course Overview

This basic course is designed to provide business owners and managers who are looking to attain a “green” certification. It shows a step by step approach to initiate the certification process with details of reporting requirements that may be required. As the types of green credentials are as complex and as varied as the number of industries and businesses, it is no surprise why many do not choose to certify – it is numerous and confusing. However, there are numerous benefits to having a green certification as it shows the public how environmental friendly your operations are and the type of responsible actions your organisation takes with regards to social and business practices.
