Frequently asked questions
Our training course Climate Zero Learn breaks down complex concepts in sustainability literature into bite-sized modules. Emissions measurement and reduction can become complicated, this course will give you the tools you need to start and stay motivated to achieve change.
We have designed this course to have relevance to all employees in a business who want to understand the actions they can take as individuals and collectively as an organisation to achieve net zero.
We typically find these are communicators, operations managers and their teams, anyone making procurement decisions. The training can also help finance and accounting teams who will be fundamental to emissions reporting.
Absolutely! We know that emissions measurement and understanding emission factors is not broken down into detail in many sustainability courses. We believe you will leave this course with new knowledge. We know that system change at a micro or macro level can’t happen without collective action. Therefore we recommend you do the training with a team of enthusiastic stakeholders. Use this course to bring them together on the journey with you.
We interviewed some of Australia’s climate leaders and their insights helped us to curate the topics in the course. Our team spent months researching and writing the course in a way that made sense for our clients. Our sustainability experts from our sister business Rewild helped shaped the modules based on their insight from working with businesses who have taken the step towards developing their ESG frameworks.
