Level 1 - 3
Sustainable Manufacturing
“Sustainable manufacturing practices are crucial for reducing carbon footprints and achieving long-term economic viability,” says Dr. Emily White, Industrial Sustainability Researcher, University of Cambridge.
This course is designed to equip manufacturing professionals with the knowledge and tools to address climate change. It covers the impact of manufacturing on climate change, introduces sustainable practices tailored to the sector, and provides actionable steps for reducing environmental impact. Participants will learn how to implement energy-efficient processes, reduce waste, and promote sustainability throughout their operations, in line with the latest Manufacturing Sustainability Trends.
Understanding the regulatory landscape is equally vital. As outlined in the Independent Assessment: The UK’s Net Zero Strategy, this course prepares participants to align their operations with national and global sustainability goals, ensuring compliance and competitive advantage.
This course is ideal for manufacturing managers, production supervisors, sustainability officers, process engineers, and anyone involved in the operational aspects of manufacturing looking to enhance their understanding of climate awareness and implement sustainable practices in their work.
