1. Future Green SustainabilityServe® - facilitating development of a
sustainability culture in your organisation
There is great incentive for organisations to participate in the sustainability agenda and
great moral, financial and social reward in achieving sustainability goals. However most
companies fail to achieve significant and demonstrable success in embedding a
sustainability strategy.
A significant barrier is often the level of awareness within an organisation as to what
sustainability is, what the corporate sustainability goals are and the role of an individual in
supporting the sustainability agenda.
Future Green’s ethos is about informing people and influencing decisions; it is only by
engaging people through education that we can promote buy in through increased
understanding and awareness and resultant action necessary to achieve a more sustainable
world.
For a Sustainability Agenda to really succeed – it can start ‘corporate’, but it must become
personal, leading to “I can make a difference”.
Future Green offers enablers and methodologies to support developing a
Company’s sustainability objectives by empowering its people.

Organisations can choose to have the learning modules and Academy branded and content
tailored to meet the organisation’s requirements in multiple languages. There are currently
three levels;
Sustainability Challenge: a diagnostic tool which records existing knowledge
Foundation Sustainability Programme: designed to address awareness and
understanding, targeted at the entire organisation
Professional Sustainability Programme’s: designed to analyse and assess key
sustainability drivers such as value adding energy management
Details on each of the three levels can be found in Appendix Two of this document.
We are constantly developing learning, for example; the energy programme has been
developed because in the future carbon abatement programmes will play a critical role in the
financial and operational success of most major utilities and energy intensive users. Energy
efficiency programmes can drive carbon abatement and reduce costs.
Bespoke modules can readily be developed. Modules for future commissioning include;
Safety, Process safety, Food security, Product stewardship, Mobility, and Responsible care.
