Saffron Interactive and Bovis Lend Lease promote sustainability

Saffron Interactive is proud to announce the development of a bespoke sustainability e-learning course at Bovis Lend Lease UK, a leading project management and construction company.

The e-learning course represents an innovative approach to engaging staff on the subject of sustainability.

The interactive course (Every Action Adds Up) is part of Bovis Lend Lease’s wider sustainability strategy. This strategy is to enable the company to design, contract and manage zero net carbon, waste and water developments as part of the wider Lend Lease group. As a result the company realised it needed everyone to understand the current activities required to deliver the strategy.

The e-learning course highlights the small changes which all employees can make to increase the positive impact that the company and the wider industry has on the environment and local communities. Using bespoke interactions and graphics, the course is designed to make the already award winning sustainability strategy engaging and relevant to learners whilst motivating them to make a difference.

Bovis Lend Lease’s Learning and Development Manager, Siobhan Glover, says “This is an exciting time for us, developing Training and Development content which both communicates our core sustainability values plus encompasses the spirit of sustainability via the web access facility through which our people will access and complete this programme. The project team have worked hard to interpret our requirements and are about to handover a programme which is engaging for our people whatever level or aspect of our business the work within.”
