including. 

• strategy

• and governance

Outcomes 

• creates a sustainable direction
• finds sustainable development principles and ethics
• helps in making sustainable decisions
• embeds a culture of sustainability
• maps maturity

We relate our approach to the BS8900 series and to ISO 26000

This is unlike many existing sustainable development courses and goes to the centre of the issues involved. Its highly practical and no-nonsense approach will connect with non-specialists and specialists alike.
