Establishing sustainable learning venues - A Guideline for training companies on the road to becoming more sustainable

Nachhaltigkeit ist eine der größten gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen der heutigen Zeit. Klimaschutz, faire Arbeitsbedingungen und verantwortungsvolle Nachbarschaften werden für Unternehmen immer wichtiger. Eine nachhaltige betriebliche Lernumgebung hilft den Mitarbeitern, nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Kompetenzen zu entwickeln. Diese spielen eine entscheidende Rolle, wenn es darum geht, im Sinne des Leitbildes der Nachhaltigkeit zu handeln. Unternehmen tun bereits sehr viel für mehr Nachhaltigkeit. Es gibt jedoch noch erhebliches Potenzial, mehr zu tun. Der vorliegende Leitfaden beschreibt vier Schlüsselbereiche für die Gestaltung nachhaltiger Lernorte mit insgesamt 13 Handlungsfeldern. Er gibt praxisorientierte Anregungen für die Umsetzung in Unternehmen. Damit bringt der Leitfaden nicht nur neue Impulse für die Berichterstattung, sondern trägt auch dazu bei, nachhaltige Entwicklung stärker in der Struktur der betrieblichen Aus- und Weiterbildung zu verankern.

Abstract

Klappentext:

Sustainability is one of the greatest social challenges in this day and age. Climate protection, fair working conditions and responsible neighbourhoods are becoming increasingly important issues for companies. A sustainable in-company learning environment helps employees to develop sustainability-related skills. These skills play a crucial role when it comes to acting in line with the guiding principle of sustainability. Companies are already doing a great deal to increase sustainability. However, there is still substantial potential to do more. This guideline describes four key areas for designing sustainable learning venues with a total of 13 areas of action. It provides practice-oriented suggestions for implementation in companies. The guideline thus not only brings fresh momentum for reporting, butalso contributes to anchoring sustainable development more firmly into the structure of initial and continuing vocational education and training at companies.
