Inspiring sustainable change through workforce engagement, environmental training, online communities and focussed events
Our focus is on environmental training, facilitation, specialised events, and online communities designed to equip delegates and members with the essential knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive sustainable change.
We work with hazardous industries to drive meaningful environmental improvements, helping reduce the operational impacts while enhancing safety, compliance, and efficiency. Our tailored solutions empower businesses to adopt sustainable practices, minimise environmental risks, and achieve long-term operational success.

We Break Down Barriers to Engagement
Our industry-recognised Basic Environmental Skills Training, or BEST course, was created in 2010 for offshore environmental representatives, E-Reps. This was a collaboration between consultants, ops specialists, safety professionals, industry groups and the regulator.
Since then, we have developed to include environmental and sustainability training for hazardous industries working within a Safety Case or COMAH regulatory regime. Our courses are designed for all levels within an organisation, integrating proven methods such as social learning, retrieval practice, and gamification.
We enable individuals, teams, and organisations to engage in meaningful conversations by enhancing their understanding of themselves, others, and the world we live in.
Our courses can be delivered face to face or using a suite of digital tools to create online engagement that continues long after the initial training to reinforce behavioural change.
Public Courses
Our public courses are delivered from Aberdeen, Scotland, and focus on environmental awareness in heavily regulated industries.
Public Course Training Calendar
Bespoke Training Packages
Through our global, cross sector experience, we can create engaging, technical content for your workforce from site based operatives through to senior executives. Bespoke courses can be delivered virtually or in person at your chosen location, anywhere in the world!
Viridescent is our new global environmental programme for HSE specialists, workforce reps, operations personnel or new entrants to hazardous industries working within Safety Case or COMAH regulatory frameworks. It is based around core modules delivered through virtual facilitated sessions, supported by 1-2-1 delegate coaching and a dedicated online community to enhance social learning.

Training Case Studies
-
BEST Bitesize
We partenered with a global energy operator to kick off their new environmental reps initiative in the UKCS.
Following engagement sessions with key stakeholders, E-Reps will go through a customised Basic Environmental Skills Training course which includes elements of the clients’ EMS delivered over four 2 hour bite size sessions through our online facilitate application.
This delivery method ensures delegates complete all training requirements during work time in a blended model with some self study and activities completed to progress through the modules.
-
BEST Marine
Working with a global marine contractor, we created a 1 day face to face environmental training course delivered from their offices.
The aim of the course was to promote compliance and create alignment with client requirements. Content included key onshore offshore and maritime legislation, and examples of good practice in waste management, EMS, chemicals and emergency response.
Key elements of their project management and customer interface processes were included to tailor the course for operational safety and environmental advisors.
-
Decommissioning Option Selection
Based on over 20 years decommissioning experience, we created a virtual training course for a global energy company in Singapore outlining decommissioning options for fixed platform removal.
As this was new to the delegates, we used North Sea case study examples of piece-small, modular and total platform removal based on our personal project experience.
By comparing the environmental, technical, commercial and safety challenges between each option, delegates left with a detailed understanding of option selection and comparative assessment.
-
BEST Onshore: North Sea Oil Terminal
Working with the operational leadership team, we delivered a 2 day environmental training course incorporating development and implementation of a new engagement strategy to newly appointed E-Reps on an oil terminal in Scotland.
The onshore regulatory regime, culture and operations are significantly different to offshore, so require a different approach.
The terminal is located within an internationally recognised protected site within a unique island ecosystem so the initiative represents great environmental practice, support for the HSE team and alignment with the offshore operations.
-
Strategy: Port Facility
We have been engaged by a key deep sea port on the east coast of England to create a strategy to identify, train and develop the role of e-reps.
The first element of the scope was a presentation of the features and benefits of the e-reps role to the senior leadership team using examples of success stories and practical improvements delivered by other reps’ teams .
The next phase is the roll out of an internal communications strategy to raise awareness of the role and identify specific projects with key environmental impacts, that would benefit from the support of workforce representatives.

Workforce Engagement

“The facilitator had a practical approach to environmental management that many of her peers could learn from- articulate, witty & delivers training with a passion that is infectious. She certainly provoked my Environmental thought process, totally exceeded my pre-course expectations - If only all tutors had this approach!! - Highly recommended’’
Lee, UKCS OIM

“The facilitator was very focused, engaging and enthusiastic which makes the course delivery exceptionally easy to follow regardless of your current knowledge level. The two day E-reps training course was very enjoyable and it enabled me to put my environmental knowledge into an oil and gas context easily. I can not recommend this training highly enough."
Andrew, Environmental Advisor, UKCS

"I like that BEIS leadership take time to provide input as I see that as an endorsement of a quality course that they approve of"
Instrument Tech and E-Rep, UKCS

"I really liked the way the course was presented. The trainer was very down to earth and made the course interesting with humour, knowledge and a great deal of experience. Their personality bought everyone onboard and ensured a great deal of conversation and participation"
