WHAT COULD TRAINING LOOK LIKE?

Every learning solution is different. We can combine and adapt content and approaches around the capability your organisation needs to build, and the time your people have. Here are some examples of the challenges we can help you address.

Understanding Sustainability Foundations within Real Estate

From technical specialists to client-facing teams, we help develop the sustainability knowledge people need to make informed decisions, have confident conversations and contribute to your organisation’s sustainability goals.

Building a Culture of Sustainability

We help teams strengthen relationships, align around common goals, and build the confidence to work together on complex sustainability challenges.

Putting Principles into Practice and Operationalising Sustainability in Your Business

We support participants to move beyond theory and apply sustainability principles with confidence in their day-to-day roles. Participants develop the knowledge and skills to make more informed decisions and contribute to better outcomes.

We equip senior leaders with the knowledge, behaviours and confidence to embed sustainability into business, inspire teams, and lead transformational change across the organisation.

Having attended a UKGBC Sustainability Leadership Course, I can 100% endorse this product. Genuinely, this has been one of the most impactful courses of my career and has provided real learning, clarity of purpose and a chance to develop as a leader, specifically in developing my confidence in inspiring others and in acting with bravery in my approach to leadership. I cannot recommend this course (and the UKGBC team) enough.
Paul Ross Strategy Director Wates Group
UKGBC’s e-learning course has provided a great platform for us to develop a bespoke introduction to sustainability training module – so straight forward that we are considering rolling it out globally. It has been great to work with the team on this project.

I have really enjoyed working with UKGBC to develop and deliver the AtkinsRéalis Carbon Academy. By combining technical content with leadership development we have built a unique training package that has been shaping a diverse group of professionals into emerging carbon leaders. A great collaborative effort with some fun along the way!
Karen Hills Technical Director (Carbon) Engineering Net Zero AtkinsRéalis
Trident were keen to deliver some in-house Sustainability training for our Building surveyors and Project Managers, to feed into our company business plan, purpose and company values. We approached UKGBC to design us a bespoke training day (in-person) with a preparatory online introduction. The training that was delivered by UKGBC was excellent. It was exceptionally well received by Trident’s surveyors who found it extremely engaging and valuable. The content was focused upon what we do as Building Surveyors and Project Managers, with an emphasis upon the retrofit of existing buildings”
Daniel Brooks-Dowsett Director Trident
We have worked with a range of organisations across the built environment value chain including:
