The materials are primarily targeted at Agricultural Manufacturing, Aquaculture, Environmental Management and Fisheries Management and they have been developed with significant input from the original PP4SD Project Management Group. Over a period of 18 months the Swansea University PP4SD team visited more than 100 SMEs across Wales to gather examples of good practice and to hear about the sustainable development challenges facing small businesses. This information together with input from further and higher education professionals and industry bodies such as Lantra were incorporated into the materials and piloted with groups from all four sectors before the final versions were produced.

The links on this page connect to four pages, one for each of the four sectors, with a complete set of the training materials, in both Welsh and English, available as downloads. The materials are designed to support group training sessions. However, so that individuals can make the most of the materials, a workbook has also been developed for each sector to facilitate individual study. Click here to see a materials map which illustrates the structure of the materials and how the workbook can be used in conjunction with the case studies and resources.

The materials are also available on CD by emailing pp4sdinfo@swansea.ac.uk where you can also request a hard copy of the workbooks.
