The Push for Net Zero: How Businesses Can Upskill for a Greener Future


Meeting discussing green practices

As the UK moves towards a net-zero economy, businesses of all sizes are facing new challenges, and new opportunities. Meeting sustainability targets isn’t just about reducing emissions; it’s about equipping workforces with the skills needed to adapt, innovate, and drive long-term change.


At GLP Training, we work with employers to develop the skills their teams need to implement sustainable practices, reduce carbon footprints, and future-proof their industries. We believe that training plays a vital role in the journey to net zero, ensuring businesses are not just keeping up with change, but leading it.


 

Why Upskilling Matters for Net Zero


With government policies, consumer expectations, and industry standards shifting towards sustainability, businesses need employees who understand and can apply green practices in their roles. Whether it’s improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, or embedding environmental management into operations, investing in the right training and upskilling employees will be crucial in meeting net-zero targets.


Key Areas Where Training Can Make an Impact


  1. Sustainability & Environmental Management: Employees who understand environmental policies, compliance regulations, and carbon reduction strategies can help businesses stay ahead of legal and market demands. Our Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Practitioner apprenticeship provide practical skills that businesses can implement immediately.


  2. Green Construction & Retrofitting: The construction industry plays a major role in achieving net zero. Our specialist skills bootcamp 'Introduction to Retrofit Green Skills' equips professionals with the expertise to work on energy-efficient projects that meet new industry standards.


  3. Waste Reduction & Circular Economy: Businesses are increasingly shifting towards circular economy principles, reducing waste, recycling materials, and designing for longevity. Training in resource efficiency and sustainable supply chain management can help teams implement smarter, greener working methods.


  4. Energy Efficiency & Carbon Reduction: Understanding energy-efficient technologies and processes can drive significant cost savings and sustainability improvements. From facilities management to operations, training in energy management ensures businesses are making informed, impactful decisions.
