## Description

Global warming and climate change are the consequences of a build-up of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2). The amount of CO2 a company adds to the atmosphere due to its activity is called its carbon footprint. All companies need to take environmental responsibility in reducing their carbon footprint. The UK's environmental laws provide some guidance. Our Environmental Awareness in Business Course will help your employees understand a range of environmental issues, their legal obligations and the steps to reduce your company's carbon footprint.
