A Greener Workplace Planning and Managing Sustainability

  • Overview

    The ‘green’ approach to life started as a grass-roots, community-based movement. It has now permeated the mainstream to the point where businesses across the globe realise that adopting an environmentally sound philosophy is essential – not only to maintain credibility and protect the bottom line, but also to attract the best employees.

    The video discusses the benefits of ‘green’ workplaces. The lead must come from the top - managers and business owners find themselves needing to be increasingly in tune with sustainable and ecological thinking. We hear from leading business people and sustainability experts about environmental corporate culture and practices.

    Learners will gain an insight into how to effectively implement a policy and strategy. Featured in the video are Geoff Gourley a leading business environmentalist and consultant, and representatives from Fujitsu.
