Edvantage group helps Legal & General make a difference to the environment
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Brighton - 08 October 2010 - Edvantage group, an e-learning company and Managed
Learning Service provider, has provided an informative course for Legal &
General on environmental awareness as part of their CSR strategy.
The e-learning is a mandatory requirement for all 7,000 of Legal & General's
employees in the UK. The course is designed to explain core environmental
messages and challenge behaviour in the workplace with regards to reducing
waste, saving energy and travelling smart. It includes a video clip from Dax
Lovegrove, Head of Business & Industry at the WWF, supporting the cause for more
environmental awareness.
Since the launch of the course the response from staff has been very positive.
With over 92% of L&G staff completing the environmental awareness course, it
has generated over 100 ideas and suggestions to help Legal & General reduce
their environmental impact.
Ideas have come from all corners of the business allowing Legal & General to
address a variety of wasteful activities ranging from software applications,
which waste huge amounts of paper, to car sharing initiatives which are helping
them to reduce business miles.
Paul Mills, Senior Operations Manager, Legal & General said, "I am absolutely
delighted with the module and very proud to be associated with it and I'm sure
that Edvantage group are too! The course has prompted a number of suggestions
from employees and the feedback that I have received has been excellent!
The package was pitched at exactly the right level and is helping us greatly
with our energy, travel and waste targets which were set last year. The beauty
of the programme has been to get staff to think about their wasteful habits and
to raise general inefficiencies and ideas through our Group mailbox - one of
the main achievements has been the awareness of the programme."
Andrea Miles, Managing Director at Edvantage group UK comments, "Corporate and
Social Responsibility is an important consideration for all organisations and
it's been great to work with a Company that wants to make a demonstrable
difference in this area. As employees we have a role to play at work and beyond
in protecting the environment and this course helps employees understand some of
the very simple things that can be done, scale that up to an organisation as
large as Legal & General and the impact is vast. The team at Legal & General
were great fun to work with and we are all very proud of the feedback the course
is receiving."
