Corporate Sustainability Training
Every job is a climate job, and there are significant opportunities for creating transformative change
What is Corporate Sustainability Training?
Corporate sustainability training builds sustainability-related knowledge and skills for employees. This can (and should) include topics like climate action, the circular economy, sustainable supply chains, life cycle thinking and assessments, sustainability management via impact measurement and reporting, and many other sustainability-related topics that are included in the Swivel Skills online learning system.
Customers and employees want to invest, buy and work for companies that have social and environmental values. They want to see climate action, increased diversity and inclusion, ethical conduct and innovations that meet their needs, but not at the expense of the planet and people.
You can’t just make claims about being “carbon neutral” or a product being “100% recycled” unless you can scientifically back it up. Many major markets have anti-greenwashing laws, and consumers are wising up to marketing tricks that make unsubstantiated claims.
Avoid making costly mistakes or getting caught with insincere claims, and ensure your entire workforce is trained and literate in all the terms, techniques and competencies needed to create substantial changes to your business that meet the growing needs of society.
The Business Imperative of our Time
Meet Stakeholders’ Needs Without Negatively Impacting Earth
Sustainability in business is about ensuring that workers, workplaces, and business structures are operating in an ethical, equitable, ecologically benign, and economically viable way, whereas from a personal perspective, sustainability is more about the choices we make when consuming goods and services. In order to achieve this, every person within the company needs to have basic green skills.
Significant Untapped Opportunities
Every job is a climate job, and there are significant opportunities for creating transformative change in the way products are produced, operations are managed, supply chains are created, and stakeholders are engaged with.
This takes individuals working within teams and collaborating for effective change for it to take hold. This is why Swivel Skills offers upskilling to both individuals and teams.
“I wish I had this course earlier on in my career - it's the perfect balance of great design, quality content, comprehensive framework and practical examples. I found the case studies very inspirational. I can highly recommend this for professionals at all stages of their journey. I feel that this course will help to make every job a climate job as the personal reflection and group discussion content provides an easy format for engaging other colleagues and partners.”
