What is the course

What is the Facilitating Sustainable Development Initiatives programme?

A practical, outcome-focused training programme designed to help teams build knowledge, apply tools and improve performance in real work situations.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Are tasked with translating abstract corporate ESG and Net-Zero pledges into operational departmental action
  • Need to facilitate cross-functional workshops involving operations, finance, supply chain and community partners
  • Are looking for a tailored, private corporate training programme for corporate sustainability teams
  • Value ecological responsibility, social justice and sustainable economic development in Indonesia
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need a highly technical or specialist certification
  • Your team is not yet ready for this level of training
  • You are primarily looking for consultancy rather than training
