What the previous program graduates say…

  • “My goal for participating in the program was to understand the work needed to develop an ESG Strategy, so I could lead the company through the process. Now, I have developed a Roadmap with specific steps we need to take to get there and I feel confident we're on the right path. ESG is a huge topic, but thanks to the workshops, we've been able to define a manageable scope of work to develop the ESG strategy in the next 6 months.“

    — Svetlana Dāboliņa, Head of Marketing at Spice & Spice Home

  • "For our business, it is critical to improve the efficiency and sustainability of our operations continuously. Although I've worked with the topic of sustainability communication for 10+ years already, there were still things I wanted to learn about strategy development, goal setting, and implementation. This program and its mentors delivered on that promise and have provided me with the know-how to succeed with the task. "

    — Linda Rence, Sustainability Officer at AS Rīgas Siltums

  • "As a professional with years of practical experience in preparing an ESG Report and helping experts improve our company's ESG performance, I came to the program with a great deal of knowledge already. However, the program mentors and the content exceeded my expectations. The course will be a game-changer for anyone working with ESG, giving confidence to navigate the complexities of the field and creating lasting positive change."

    —Daina Āboliņa, Corporate Sustainability Communication Project Manager at Valsts Nekustamie Īpašumi

  • "Sustainability is a topic I've been studying and still study both formally and independently. I've incorporated sustainable thinking into my day-to-day life wherever possible. With the completion of this online program, I'm able to take sustainability to the corporate leadership level and approach it with a broader and more practical perspective. The content was insightful and useful, I was pleased to expand my network both with fellow learners as well as the tutors. I'd definitely recommend this course to others!"

    — Anna Margrieta Legzdiņa, Freelance Consultant

  • "The course shares both philosophical and practical best practices you can apply immediately. The program format is easy to follow, and you get to keep all the resources after! The program mentors are excellent at sharing the most important information and open to discuss your specific questions. The open, collaborative environment (even online) makes you feel comfortable exchanging ideas and issues. Would highly recommend to others!"

    — Mercedes Beaudoin, Senior content advisor and copywriter at Ramboll

  • "This is an excellent course that anyone working in sustainability can benefit from. It covers a wide array of topics, from materiality assessments to emission calculation, as well as bringing the leadership team on board. I enjoyed learning from some really knowledgeable experts. The best part is you leave with a ready-to-implement ESG strategy plan! I don't know if many courses out there offer that."

  • ESG Strategy Roadmap is a step-by-step working plan for developing an ESG Strategy.

    We believe that ESG (just like any other project in your business) is most successful when well-managed, so we provide you with suggestions for how to plan and structure your next steps.

  • All sessions are recorded, and program participants can request access to the recording for 72 hours after the live session.

  • The program is addressing a very specific problem to a very specific audience. We want to ensure the participants benefit from the program.

    And that’s only possible if we onboard participants that:

    • are currently working as Sustainability/ESG Managers;

    • need to develop an ESG Strategy in the near future.

  • During the 6-week program, we host a total of 3 hours of content every week (2 hours for presentations & workshops, 1 hour for Office Hours).

    We advise you to book an extra 2 hours weekly to recap what you’ve learned and work on the ESG Strategy Roadmap.
