Education for Change
When a corporation makes the decision to modify its business or operational practices, employee engagement and education is critical.
Behavioural change can be more cost-effective and simply easier than structural change and can often lie at the heart of an effective carbon reduction strategy.
However, without the right support and understanding from internal stakeholders, real change that succeeds the business objectives will be difficult to achieve.
Carbon Planet's Education Programs have been developed to enable businesses to engage employees at all levels of the organisation, from the Board through to frontline staff or administrators.
Depending on the type of change being implemented across the business and the level of education required, our specialist team will tailor or develop specific programs to ensure the right outcomes are achieved.
Carbon Planet's Education Programs include:
Board Level / Executive Team Training
Risk and Opportunity Management: it is critical for senior management to understand how government, investor and customer response to climate change will impact their operations. Taking proactive and early action to mitigate financial and reputational risk can help businesses remain competitive and viable in a carbon-constrained economy.
Legislation Compliance: since Australia ratified Kyoto, requirements and standards for business activity have been rapidly developing. Businesses need to understand the implications of the pending legislation and their compliance responsibility to ensure they meet the demands of the law, and of all their other stakeholders.
General Employee Training:
Climate Change and Carbon Management 101: general employee education providing an informative overview of climate change and global warming and insight into the role played by the business world, and why and how businesses can reduce their carbon footprint.
Employee Workshops: to encourage active participation in business change, Carbon Planet will partner with businesses to create practical, engaging workshops that cover specific business initiatives, practices and objectives. Motivated employees are more productive employees and can also help to spearhead some of the fundamental carbon emissions or energy reducing initiatives across the company.
