HE0180 : Environmental Management & Technology (EMT): Environmental Engineering, Management, Impact Assessment & Sustainable Reporting

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

The environmental best practices course combines technical environmental engineering fundamentals with more management-based subjects such as environmental management, regulation, law, economics, impact assessment and sustainable development and reporting. 

This course will cover the environmental monitoring, dispersion modelling and dispersion tools for clean design and operation of industry.  It will examine how businesses integrate environmental issues into their activities, with an introduction to the key elements of EMAS, ISO14001 and tools such as Life Cycle Assessment. 

 

Through practical sessions, the course will encourage the development of skills in conducting reviews and audits, as well as considering the organizational structures and cultures that affect implementation.  The course will cover pollution measurement and analysis which will give participants the opportunity through practical exercises to develop skills in survey design and implementation to critically evaluate survey data in terms of variability, sources of error and bias, and to develop skills in environmental reporting and presentation. 

 

Sustainability reporting, also called triple-bottom-line business accountability is the practice of expanding traditional business reporting to take into account environmental and social performance in addition to financial results.  Participants will be trained how to prepare comprehensive and factual sustainability reports.
