We launched our new project, Couriers Go Green!
Within the framework of Erasmus+ program, our new international project has just started in this January. The
project kick-off meeting was held between 31 January – 1 February in Volos (Greece), where the members of the
new consortium discussed about the management and implementation preparation’ tasks. The project
partnership consists of seven members from different European countries, such as Greece, Cyprus, Belgium,
Romania and Hungary.
Couriers Go Green main goal is to develop an Educational Package and a Certifiable Training Course as well
as a Green Strategy step-by-step process model to assist the major players in the transportation sector to make a
green shift into their operations contributing thus to environmental protection and fight against climate change.
To this extent, in order for the project to cover the needs of certain groups such as courier and transportation
workers, drivers, who might have different backgrounds and starting points, all project results will be tested against
criteria like comprehensibility, effectiveness, terms understanding, plain language, to produce a tailor made and
adapted VET (Vocational Education and Training) program.
The main output of the project is a Courier Go Green e-Learning Hub, aiming to enable the target market to
become greener in the areas of courier, postal, transport, mobility and other areas.
A Learning Platform will be developed integrating the educational package with information, tools and other
resources in order to enhance learning. Online learning platforms bring numerous advantages to both professionals
(learners) and companies, revolutionizing the learning process.
ISONIKE Ltd is one of the project’s Partners.
Within the project, ISONIKE Ltd will participate in WP#3 with overall objective:
• Help courier companies calculate their carbon footprint and the overall impact on the Environment caused
by their activities and operations
• Equip individuals (courier and postal operators employees) with green certifiable skills and environmental
awareness for playing a crucial role in target group green shift
• Provide certifiable Training & Awareness to Courier and Postal Operator employees including leadership
engagement for turning green initiatives into reality.
Specific objectives of ISONIKE’s participation are:
• Bring its experience and know-how into building a personnel certification scheme verifying the knowledge
and skills acquired from Courier Go Green educational package.
• Develop the Certification scheme for Green Skills that is to be produced as a Project Result to their offered
services to increase the potential solutions for the existing clientele.
Through this certification, the Courier/ Postal/ Transport Operators will gain certified staff, the Business associations
will have a new service/product to serve to their members, the employees of the SMEs will have the chance to
certify their knowledge and their skills and prove their capability on Green Shift.
Stay tuned to follow our activities and achievements in Couriers Go Green!
