Training Programmes & Thought Leadership

At Impact Institute, we believe meaningful change begins with learning. Through our impact training programmes and thought leadership, we deliver impact education that equips professionals and organisations with the knowledge, insights and tools needed to contribute to a fairer and more sustainable economy. We offer corporate sustainability training both in-house and online.

Through our former CSRD Academy and Platform, we helped and trained thousands of impact professionals and hundreds of organisations on the details of the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). However, we work framework agnostic, and can help you comply with any of the frameworks, from ESRS, SFDR, GRI to IFRS and more, as we have been helping organisations for over 10 years with measuring their impact and how to report on their social and environmental impact.

In addition, as we have such a broad range of in-house experts, we tend to get invited to many different events to come and speak on panels or in news rooms. Therefore, we have developed as expert sustainability keynote speakers, who can bring impact expertise to your audience. Find some of our expert speakers below.
