Part of the solution to meetings these goals is to make sure that all staff and employees receive training, information and guidance on environmental issues and how they can each contribute to the Council’s targets. Kent County Council has over 8,000 employees, located across the county and working at over 300 premises. In order to share the guidance and spread the influence as widely as possible, Kent County Council engaged GEP Environmental to deliver a series of “Green Guardians” training courses. Based around the IEMA approved Environmental Awareness course, and tailored to be specific to Kent’s needs, this course has been delivered to some 300 Green Guardians across the Council. These volunteers form a network of champions of sustainability through the organization, and encourage their teams to be:
The Green Guardians are integral to Kent County Council’s sustainability plans and with their help, they are well on their way to meeting their 2021 goals.
“The bespoke nature of this course means our Green Guardians benefit from the IEMA certification and make the link between global concerns and our environment programme. The feedback we receive is always positive.”
