ZERO
MidKent College is committed to being a mindful and considerate organisation that assesses and manages the impact of our work on the local and global environment.
Climate change and ecological impact are some of the biggest challenges of our time, and the UK Government's target to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 is ambitious. We're ambitious too. That's why we've put plans in place under our 'MidKent College ZERO' banner to make our campuses in Maidstone and Medway net-zero by 2030.
We recognise the significant role we play in shaping the values and behaviours of future generations. By demonstrating our own commitment to environmental sustainability, we believe we can instil a sense of responsibility and awareness among our students and staff to help create a culture of environmental awareness that extends beyond our campuses and into the broader community.
This CPD is being offered by Chris Hare, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Employers & Corporate Services at MidKent College
A 2 course meal will be served prior to the presentations.
