- Achieve a working appreciation of the fundamentals of systematic environmental management, including inspection, the principles of pollution control, aspects, source-pathway-receptor, the waste hierarchy, aspects evaluation, material efficiency, energy management and organising and managing a comprehensive multi-project strategy.
- Develop an initial working knowledge and understanding of possibilities and approaches for moving from environmental improvement to ecologically and socially sustainable management of waste, emissions and land, including a) design and reframing b) action on waste hierarchy and material efficiency c) closed loop d) bio-mimicry, e) whole system optimisation f) applying Natural Step criteria pragmatically and in a system for sustainable management and g) site demonstration.
- Justify, secure support and facilitate a project for such a comprehensive, systematic, step-by-step operational approach for a specific business organisation over the medium to long term.
