As the demand increases for skills addressing green products, robust production and service practices less harmful to the environment, businesses seek an innovative approach to meet these challenges in ways that increase efficiency and lead to reduced operating costs.

The primary objective of this training is to educate participants in the use of Green assessments and productivity/environmental principles focused on energy, pollution and waste stream reductions.
