Carbon Literacy for the Member & Electronic Recycling Sector

Carbon Literacy for the Electronic Recycling Sector is a Carbon Literacy Project (CLP) accredited training course designed for our Ecogenesys Compliance Scheme Members. It provides a practical understanding of climate change, carbon impacts and how both individuals and organisations can take meaningful, measurable action.

Designed specifically for organisations within the producer responsibility and electronic recycling sectors, our CLP-accredited Carbon Literacy course connects climate science directly to business operations, decision-making and long-term resilience.

The training uses industry-relevant case studies and practical examples drawn from member organisations, with many based on real-world member experiences, ensuring learning is both relevant and actionable.

The course also explores local and sector-specific environmental impacts, helping participants understand the role their organisation can play in supporting the transition to a low-carbon, circular economy.

Frequently Asked Questions

We would suggest that this course is essential for everybody and no previous knowledge or experience is required.

Carbon Literacy Training gives individuals the key facts to back up their general awareness of climate change, so that they can be confident when talking about the subject personally or putting in place business strategies to combat the threats caused by climate change.

Carbon Literacy Training is especially vital for organisations that have challenging sustainability targets or are starting to develop targets and have an opportunity to prioritise carbon reduction practices.

To receive certification, you must complete a day’s worth of accredited training, in addition to 1 hour of pre-course learning and 1 hour of homework. You must then submit an Evidence Form, including an individual and group pledge which will be assessed by The Carbon Literacy Project.

With 20 years of compliance experience, our training is designed to be relevant, actionable and aligned with the needs of our members. Our aim is to help our members teams turn knowledge into measurable impact. When it came to developing course content for Carbon Literacy Training, we identified many areas that could be tailored to our members, that would not be covered in a more general course.

Prior to the course, you will receive information to read and a documentary to watch to familiarise yourself with the content.

The course itself is intended to be a very interactive session, led by experienced trainers but encouraging the discussion and debate that generates the best ideas and supports understanding.

Towards the end of the course, each attendee will start to work on their own carbon pledges, which they will finalise after the course has finished and submit to The Carbon Literacy Project.

The course is delivered across themed modules combining learning, discussion and case studies:

    • Module One: Climate Science & Impacts
    • Module Two: Business, Policy & Risk
    • Module Three: Carbon Footprints & Measurement
    • Module Four: Solutions & Action

Yes, we can run the training for your whole organisation through the Ecogenesys Training Academy. All training can be tailored specifically for your organisational needs, with custom content and delivery options aligned to your team’s needs and roles.
