Carbon Literacy for staff engagement

The most valuable asset to any business is its staff - they are also your most powerful tool for accelerating your carbon reduction plan. 


Carbon Literacy Training for Staff Engagement is a 1 day training that equips staff with both the knowledge to make sustainability part of their everyday decisions but also the tools to engage their peers and create a ripple effect across the business.

Why should you and your teams participate in carbon literacy training?

By the end of this workshop learners will be able to...

  • Discuss climate change drivers with colleagues and key stakeholders
  • Motivate colleagues and stakeholders to take action to reduce their carbon footprint
  • Pledge individual & group actions which will lead to significant reduction in carbon emissions


The Carbon Literacy Trust estimate carbon savings of 5-15% per Carbon Literate individual, whilst the impact on company culture of increased staff awareness cannot be quantified. Engaging staff in the sustainability efforts have the company can also have added benefits of increased job satisfaction and greater sense of purpose within the organisation. 


The journey to net zero will involve colleagues at every level engaging with the impact of business practices and implementing low carbon alternatives. Staff awareness of how to reduce their impact as well engagement with your sustainability efforts is the key to creating a long-lasting low carbon culture.
