Environmental Management for Beverage Production Professionals

This might sound like a bold statement but the CIBD’s new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course, Environmental Management for Beverage Production Professionals, may be the most important course you ever take. Our other courses might provide you with the knowledge and skills required to excel in your career, but none will give you the tools and knowledge you need to lead the fight to help save the planet, one beverage at a time!

Humanity has exceeded the safe operating zones in all but three of the nine planetary boundaries for the processes essential for maintaining a safe environment for human life. Energy and the raw materials for brewing, distilling and packaging are becoming increasingly expensive. Water of the quality required for beverage production is becoming more and more scarce. In addition, many customers expect beverages to be produced as sustainably as possible. Therefore, it has never been so important for brewers, distillers and packaging professionals to manage their operations to limit any detrimental effects on the environment and maximise beneficial effects. We must also ensure that our operations are as resilient as possible to threats posed by the changing environment.

The Environmental Management for Beverage Production Professionals course covers all aspects of the environmental management of a beverage production facility. It explains, step by step, how to implement a formal environmental management system and how to estimate the carbon footprint of your products. The principles, tools, techniques and technology required to minimise water use, greenhouse gas emissions and solid waste are also covered in depth. The course includes a downloadable PDF which provides a detailed summary of the course content for your technical library.

The course features engaging text, countless videos, animations, quizzes, and games to help enhance learning. At the end of the course, you receive a Certificate of Completion.

In a time when every organisation needs to be as sustainable, agile and climate resilient as possible, taking the Environmental Management for Beverage Production Professionals course helps ensure that you don’t get left behind.
