More free carbon literacy training sessions are being staged for food businesses across East Staffordshire and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Intensive one-day courses have already helped restaurant owners, caterers and food producers including six East Staffordshire food businesses.
The next session takes place at Keele in Town, in Newcastle town centre, between 9.30am and 4.30pm on Tuesday, 17 February.
There will also be an online session via Microsoft Teams between 9am and 4.30pm on Monday, 10 March.
The training is delivered through a partnership between East Staffordshire Borough Council, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and the Carbon Literacy Trust.
Participants will gain a nationally recognised Carbon Literacy certificate, practical skills to measure and reduce carbon emissions, insight into sustainable cost-saving opportunities, and the ability to communicate environmental actions effectively.
Councillor Dennis Fletcher, cabinet member for environment and climate change at East Staffordshire Borough Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see our local food businesses taking meaningful action on climate change and gaining recognised qualifications in the process.
“These newly Carbon Literate business owners are now equipped with the knowledge and tools to make real change in their operations, and we’re proud to support them on this journey.”
Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Food businesses can register here.
