Sustainability Measurement

Online | Face-to-face | In-company

Overview

Centred around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, our suite of sustainable process engineering courses will further your knowledge and understanding of how chemical and process engineers can have an impact on sustainability, and will help you to start applying more sustainable practices in your work.

This course will teach you how to set meaningful sustainability goals, and measure the impact of sustainable practices implemented within your organisation.

You will learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the various measurement tools that are available, and, crucially, how to determine which are the right ones for your organisation.

You will explore what responsible sustainability measurement and reporting looks like in a fast-changing regulatory context.

The course will also help you better understand the circular economy concept and how it can apply in your place of work.

What delegates say

"Ann was a good course leader, presented well and clearly knows her material well. She also made the course fun."
I Campbell, Johnson Matthey, UK

"Course content was excellent. The timing split was also spot on – longer sections on regulation and less time on things less relevant to chemical engineering but important to know about."
T Hart, Sellafield Ltd, UK
