Cogent, has launched a project to create a comprehensive, nationally recognised set of workplace standards for sustainable business development.
These standards will define the skills and knowledge employees in the sector need in areas such as energy efficiency and waste reduction and elimination. The standards will be used to inform and underpin training and qualifications across all industries in the Cogent footprint.
The initiative will help the industry address Government policies for making
industry more sustainable and more environmentally friendly. It is hoped that
these occupational standards will define what every worker should know and
practice in order to achieve the benefits to be gained from long-term
sustainability. In addition it is hoped that it will improve the sectors
environmental and ethical credentials, efficiency and competitiveness, and
provide long-term economic benefits.
