In a significant move to promote environmental awareness and sustainable practices, Make UK, a leading provider of environmental consulting and training, has announced a partnership with Sustainability West Midlands.
This partnership will enable members of Sustainability West Midlands to access a discount on environmental training.
The initiative aims to empower individuals and businesses committed to environmental stewardship by making essential training more accessible.
Helping Organisations Drive Change
Speaking about the partnership, Make UK Environment, Health & Safety Director, Chris Newson, emphasised the importance of education in addressing environmental challenges.
“At Make UK, we understand the growing pressure on organisations to lead on sustainability. By partnering with Sustainability West Midlands, we hope to make it easier for organisations to take practical steps toward achieving their green goals,” Newson said. “Training is crucial to closing the gap between knowing what needs to be done and actually implementing meaningful change.”
Impactful Training
In recognition of the diverse needs of organisations, Make UK has a range of training with courses designed for all levels of the workforce.
For those working in an environment or sustainability role, Make UK have a series of professional development courses. Additionally, Make UK tutors understand that competence cannot be achieved by training alone so take time support learners on their development journey. Other training is designed to upskill the workforce whilst courses for management teams explore broader strategies for integrating sustainability into business planning, corporate governance, and long-term policy development.
“Achieving meaningful sustainability outcomes requires a whole-organisation approach,” Newson said. “From operational teams to senior decision-makers, everyone needs to be equipped with the right skills and knowledge.”
All courses offered to Sustainability West Midlands members are accredited by The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA), the largest professional body for environmental practitioners.
The courses offered are as follows:
- IEMA Leading with Environmental Sustainability
- IEMA Introduction to Net Zero
- IEMA Pathways to Net Zero
- IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management (AIEMA)
- IEMA Certificate in Environmental Management (PIEMA)
- IEMA Diploma in Sustainable Business Practice
All courses can be viewed on the Make UK website and the team will be happy to help individuals and businesses choose the right course.
