We will continuously train all our staff in sustainability up to 2030
A structured training programme that covers the various aspects of sustainability and is offered to all staff at all levels allows them to gain a basic understanding and sharpen the corporate culture. This can include both internal training and external training resources. You can provide training materials, online courses and workshops to continuously train staff.
Carry out an impact evaluation after the training by talking to participants about their experiences with sustainability in day-to-day work. Based on this feedback, take measures to systematically embed sustainability in the company. To ensure that sustainability training leads to continuous progress, you can integrate sustainability into staff development processes. This can be achieved, for example, by setting sustainability targets, regularly measuring progress and recognising commitment and development processes.
Creating an internal network of experts helps to share knowledge and experience in sustainability within the company. Staff with expertise in this area can serve as knowledge bearers and mentors to support their colleagues and promote awareness of sustainability. Regular knowledge sharing, meetings and training courses can help to strengthen this network.
You can achieve the greatest impact if you promote sustainability education not only in your own company. Extend your efforts to your value chain. Seek dialogue with your most important suppliers and customers and invite them to take part in training programmes on sustainability issues. Establish binding guidelines in your contracts. Set a clear time frame for the implementation of the necessary measures.
The targeted, ongoing training of staff on the topic of sustainability serves to keep their qualifications and skills up to date, adapt to changes and increase motivation. Only if staff have the skills and knowledge for the change will they be able to contribute constructively and purposefully.
