The Climate Action Programme with Danske Bank – a partnership between Danske Bank and Business in the Community NI – is the first initiative of its kind in the UK and Ireland.
The carbon literacy training is the first part of a four-month programme which will see companies undertake training workshops delivered by Business in the Community to help them understand climate change causes and consequences, learn how to measure their own carbon footprint, start to create a strategy to mitigate their own climate impact and ultimately to commit to taking action.
Danske Bank has nominated six of its customers to take part in the training programme and is part-funding their participation.

It is day eight in a depot in Lymm just outside Warrington, Cheshire and a lorry carrying frozen carrots and mixed herbs is still waiting for clearance to board a ferry from Birkenhead to Belfast.
Six separate customers, supermarkets and corner stores have other consignments on truck, all stuck in Lymm because the paperwork for a single pallet of carrots is missing key information.
Hundreds of miles away in Lisburn in Northern Ireland, the haulage firm’s operations team have had no luck in persuading the British supplier that the carrots that were ordered on 27 December are now, in the third week in January, classed as an export and must be accompanied by a litany of documents and certificates before the trailer can be cleared to board the ferry at Birkenhead.
