Environmental legislation, rising energy costs and stakeholder demands increasingly require businesses to assess their own environmental impacts and the associated expense. Our dedicated team of environmental advisors serves businesses across Yorkshire and the Humber.

In turn businesses can improve their environmental performance, compliance and commitment to the environment, whilst as the same time becoming more efficient and competitive.

Our work with the Environment Agency is focused on improving failing water bodies through investigation into sources of pollution and engagement with businesses and stakeholders in the area.

Carbon Literacy Training Course
Carbon Literacy training is being offered across the United Kingdom and beyond, through workplaces, educational institutions and in communities. The training includes both consistent core materials and adapted content relevant to “where” learners are (geographically and sectorally), all as part of an accredited certification scheme. Learners are encouraged to develop their own responses to lowering their carbon footprint. Our trainers are quality assessed or kite-marked, and there is high profile branding for organisations putting their people through a Carbon Literacy programme. The course is available as a full day classroom session or as a series of shorter online sessions.
