Environmental Sustainability Skills for Managers & Professionals

At Wharton Sustainable Solutions, we’re delighted to partner with the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Practice (ISEP) to deliver the ISEP-approved Environmental Sustainability Skills for Managers & Professionals course. Whether you’re a team leader, operational specialist, sustainability coordinator or manager, this course gives you the tools, insight and confidence to turn sustainability from a policy statement into measurable outcomes. You’ll gain practical frameworks to assess environmental risks, embed sustainability in your operations and value chain, and lead change that drives efficiency, compliance and long-term value.

About ISEP

ISEP is the global membership body that sets standards for sustainability and environmental practice. It supports professionals and organisations through benchmarks, credentials and a community committed to sustainable performance improvement.

Course overview

This course is designed to support professionals across roles and sectors who are tasked with turning sustainability ambitions into everyday realities. It moves beyond abstract theory to give you practical, decision-focussed skills — from understanding regulatory drivers, evaluating resource flows and waste, to setting meaningful KPIs and influencing supplier behaviour.

You’ll engage in real-world case studies and hands-on exercises that reflect diverse industries, whether manufacturing, services, logistics or construction. Expect to leave with a ready-to-apply action plan that aligns your role with your organisation’s sustainability goals — for example initiating a waste-reduction pilot, revising supplier contracts for improved environmental oversight, or setting departmental carbon-intensity metrics.

By the end of the course you’ll understand how to frame sustainability in your team or function, how to measure performance, and how to embed change through practical tools and leadership influence. We emphasise doable actions–not lofty goals; the end result is you’re prepared to step in, lead and deliver.
