Supporting Organisations in the Drive Towards a
Sustainable Economy
SOLIHULL, England, July 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Global performance
improvement solutions provider GP Strategies is pleased
to announce it has joined CDP as the first accredited UK Education
and Training Partner for 2015. Having been a consultancy partner
since 2013, GP Strategies will now support CDP further in its
mission towards creating a sustainable global economy by providing
organisations with training and learning programmes to implement
and support their carbon management, climate impact and
environmental strategies.
GP Strategies has vast experience and in depth understanding of
market pressures, supply chain dynamics and corporate management.
This places them in a unique position to be able to help
organisations in the development and implementation of
sustainability policies and procedures, providing full training
needs analysis, design, delivery, implementation and
assessment.
Marcus Norton, Chief Partnerships Officer at CDP, says, "We are
delighted to welcome GP Strategies on board as an accredited
provider of education and training services in the UK. CDP has long
recognised the importance of high quality greenhouse gas and carbon
management training for businesses trying to reduce their emissions
and help prevent dangerous climate change. GP Strategies has an
excellent range of both face-to-face and e-learning training
solutions for all organisations."
For over a decade CDP has worked with companies to drive action
towards a more sustainable world. According to the latest research
by CDP there are significant benefits and opportunities for
companies who disclose their climate impact – with savings of over
£33 billion ($53 billion USD) seen by
organisations worldwide. Training and education around this helps
support and develop strategies to encourage and support businesses
to reduce vulnerability.
"The influence of stakeholder pressures is on the rise, giving
organisations a more urgent need to assess their environmental
practices," states Mark Miller,
Learning Solutions Director for GP Strategies. "We have hands on
experience implementing training programmes to support sustainable
business practices and are looking forward to working with
organisations aligned with CDP to provide training to support and
drive this forward."
