Supporting Cornwall's Transition to a Low Carbon Economy

Carbon training courses

Lady on carbon courseThe Clear About Carbon team is experimenting with different training approaches to encourage organisations in Cornwall to drive down their carbon impact.

As well as collecting research on this to report back at the end of our project, we are able to offer some places to Cornish professionals on the following courses.

For some businesses who meet the criteria, these are free.

  • Carbon management training

    Hand writing about carbon, getting creative

    Employees emerge from this accredited continuing professional development with the impetus and tools to set carbon budgets, carry out carbon footprinting and introduce a ‘low-carbon’ metric in to their organisation’s sourcing policies. T J International, Cornish Energy and Watergate Bay Hotel are a few of the companies taking part.

    These workshops are designed to help senior management get to grips with how the low-carbon agenda relates to their organisation, and are facilitated by the University of Exeter Business School.
