We’re proud to be the first UK law firm to deliver Carbon Literacy training for clients.
We’ve been accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project, allowing us to provide certified Carbon Literacy training to small and medium-sized enterprises. If you’d like to start Carbon Literacy training at your company or want to find out more, contact our team of environmental law experts. You can also reach out to Keith Davidson or Claire Petricca-Riding directly.
The training is suitable for all employees and managers. It’s a great way to become more aware of the climate impacts of everyday individual and business actions and to gain the motivation to reduce emissions.
What’s involved?
By completing one day’s worth of training on our accredited Carbon Literacy course, followed by approval of personal and workplace climate action plans, up to 15 staff will become certified as Carbon Literate Individuals. With management participation in the course, companies can also apply to become Carbon Literate Organisations, ranging from bronze to gold standard.
Carbon Literacy is a desirable asset for any employer. Behavioural change is essential for reducing emissions and saving costs. Certification from the Carbon Literacy Project will also strengthen tender propositions and enhance environmental strategies and net zero plans.
What does the training cover?
- The science behind climate change
- The impacts of climate change
- The legal framework and government policy
- Voluntary and mandatory carbon reporting obligations
- How to reduce your carbon footprint
- Skills for motivating others on corporate climate action.
The training will be hosted by a certified Carbon Literacy Facilitator from Irwin Mitchell.
How much does the training cost?
We offer two training options for SMEs:
- Two half-day webinars for £2,000 + VAT
- A more interactive one-day workshop at your office for £2,500 + VAT.
The Carbon Literacy Project charge £30 per person (no VAT) for issuing the certificates.
