This is what our learners think about the GRI Academy

Having completed a MSc in Environmental Sustainability in 2019, I wanted to continue developing my sustainability knowledge. The professional certification program helped to refresh and refocus my perspective on sustainability. The holistic approach set by the standards allows you truly capture an organisation's contribution to sustainability.

The Professional Certification has helped me not only to improve my reporting skills for the company's report, but also to generate competitive advantages and create shared value from a strategy based on sustainability criteria.

The GRI Academy online modules provide a well-structured resourceful guidance that I can rely on to help our clients. The importance of Materiality and how the report is built around it is something that I have learnt to be mindful of. Thank you GRI for providing this opportunity for me!
