- A two to three hour senior management briefing to help management understand what sustainable development and BS 8901 are, how they will change your industry, the basic requirements and overall business case for adopting the standard.
- A one day practical workshop to help you understand the standard and to get you started in developing your management system to meet BS 8901. This workshop can be based upon a particular event that you are planning where required.
