Module 1: Managing Environmental Media and Issues
Organisations play a key role in achieving sustainability. Managing the environmental aspects and impacts associated with activities, products and services is essential for businesses. Compliance with environmental legal requirements is crucial, with many businesses now going beyond the legal minimum.
Organisations require competent environmental practitioners with sound environmental knowledge from which to develop management skills and capabilities to bring about environmental improvement. This module builds on the knowledge gained through achieving Associate membership of the IEMA and supports delegates in developing a broader understanding.
Module 2: Sustainability for business
This module aims to equip Environmental Practitioners with a strategic view of how ‘the environment’ fits into the broader business agenda. In a changing world where corporate responsibility and business reputational risk are of increasing importance, this module will equip environmental practitioners with the skills to move environmental sustainability higher up the business agenda.
Module 3: Strategic Environmental Management
A wealth of information, training and support is available to organisations that want to manage their environmental aspects and impacts to improve their environmental performance and competitiveness. For this to be effective environmental issues need to be a part of business or organisational strategies and not seen as a bolt-on. To make this happen organisations require individuals equipped to lead and deliver change.
The purpose of this module is to equip delegates with the tools to understand their role as leaders of change in an organisational context.
