Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)
Build the knowledge and confidence to champion inclusion in the waste and resources sector
Creating a more inclusive sector is essential to driving innovation, attracting talent, and delivering better outcomes for people, organisations, and the environment. However, understanding what equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) mean in practice - and how to support them - can be challenging without the right awareness and guidance.
This engaging eLearning course provides a practical introduction to EDI within the waste and resources sector. Through interactive content, you’ll explore why inclusion matters, how it impacts individuals and organisations, and the role you can play in creating a more inclusive workplace.
Delivered across five focused modules, the course highlights the importance of diverse perspectives and equips you with the knowledge and mindset to support positive change - helping to build a stronger, more inclusive sector for the future.
