If you are a council looking for a program of workshops for your residents, a company looking for lunchtime seminars for your staff, or even managing an event such as a conference or festival, Sustainability Systems & Services can provide you with the widest range of sustainability themed workshops available. We can put together specialised presentations on a wide variety of topics.
Environmental education and support are vital whether you are seeking to improve the level of environmental awareness for an individual or for an organisation. Sustainability Systems & Services can provide either individual workshops or can customise extended workshop programs to suit your needs and tailored to meet the needs of your audiences.
Sustainability Systems & Services specialises in creating an integrated program of environmental education that can provide timely support to the development of environmental management systems and environmental action plans for your workplace, and can follow up training sessions with mentoring programs to assist your organisation to build its environmental capacity to achieve your short, mid and long term sustainability goals.
Many Councils are interested in providing sustainability education workshops for their residents and the deliverables of these programs can be outsourced to Sustainability Systems & Services very cost effectively thus enabling Council to refocus full time staff members onto more complex challenges.
