Launching July 2025

Live Sustainability Training for the Chemical Industry

Join the first public cohort of our expert-led, small-group workshop series — built on years of training delivered for government-funded sustainability programmes and university research centres.

Chemistry for Change

Expert-Led Training for Sustainable Innovation

Chemistry for Change is a live, online workshop series for professionals in the chemical industry who want to build real green chemistry skills and lead with confidence.

Based on workshops delivered to government sustainability programmes and university doctoral training centres, this public series is now open for the first time — with small-group sessions, practical content, and expert support throughout.

Each course includes 2 x 2-hour live sessions and a toolkit of exclusive resources to help you apply what you learn. Take one, or bundle all three for maximum value.
