Conference Overview

The purpose of this workshop is to develop advanced knowledge, understanding and the skills required to progress the environmental sustainability agenda in an organizational and business context. The workshop is required to equip the attendees with the broad ideas and principles of sustainability and environmental management in order for them to facilitate their implementation at a local level and particularly within commercial organizations. Many organisations go above and beyond the basic requirements in order to lessen their impact on our planet and insure the future of the industry and our environment but there is still a significant amount of uncertainty regarding challenges such as global warming and its effects.

Sustainability development and the effective management of environmental impacts have become key goals for policy action. It is now widely recognized that understanding sustainability and integrating its principles and methods into everyday practice is vital for the environmental, economic and social welfare of society.

These professionals seek to gain advanced knowledge and acquire comprehensive skills for bringing added value and authenticity to their organizations at a strategic and operational level. Successful sustainability practitioners ensure that the commitment to Environmental Management and Sustainability is deployed through the effective design and implementation of strategies and programs across organizations. By maintaining high levels of confidence among stakeholders and adopting business transparency, organizations achieve excellence and actively promote sustainability responsibility across the triple bottom line.
