Environment
ideostone is a small business dedicated to reducing our ecological footprint. If everyone in the world consumed at the rate we do in the UK, we would need more than three worlds to sustain us. We have to find a way to live and work in a more sustainable way and ideostone will work towards this goal.
We do this by disseminating information about climate change and other sustainability issues and offering training programmes for individuals and businesses to help them understand the issues and the action they can take that will make a difference. Contrary to popular opinion, the small actions we can all take as individuals and businesses can have an effect – we just need to encourage more people to do it! Find out more >
Environmental training
We have extensive experience in developing and delivering training at a high level within business and an academic setting. We have some standard courses available but we can also work with organisations and businesses to develop courses that meet your particular needs.
We can help members of staff at all levels to understand the environmental impact of the business and to identify the environmental issues relevant to them. We then work with participants to get their input into the resource efficiencies and savings that can be made within the organisation. The courses are practical and most result in the production of an action plan for reducing the organisation’s environmental impact. Find out more >
