Increasingly, customers, insurers and work providers are demanding repairers demonstrate how they are minimising their impact on the environment.

Parts is something that all repairers can do more to reduce, reuse and recycle. It's a known fact that plastic parts have a huge impact on the environment, so reducing parts production, transportation of parts and general reduction in waste should be a priority.

Whilst this is a huge negative, by taking steps to upskill your paint, MET or panel technicians and apprentices, you have the opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint and make huge savings on parts management and procurement, therefore training should be high on any repairer agenda.

Our training partner, Cornerstone, offer training courses to support repairers to improve and increase their scope, safety, quality, efficiency and profitability. The courses are designed to provide repairers with the knowledge, techniques and processes to safely identify more opportunities to repair over replace, with a view on developing a more sustainable workplace.

The focus is primarily on practical environmental knowledge, which will be equally applicable to any type of manufacturer, Cornerstone can also provide the following training as part of the Green Earth Package:
