Quotes

“YES !!! Finally, a certification that is way ahead of its time. For every leader, for every person in an organisation, this is a must have in your armoury of skills. I highly recommend you take this certification. It will change the way you think. And that in turn, will help us all as a global collective.”

“We didn’t inherit the earth from our parents, we simply borrow it from our children. Do you want to understand how to drive sustainability leadership? Build your roadmap to sustainability today with EARTH 51. Akhil Handa is absolutely brilliant and will change the world.”

“I have to say I was completely hooked. My key takeaway is the need to "pay it forward” - the choices and changes we make today, will shape the longevity of future generations to come.”

“Great course !! Very informative and useful on how we can contribute to the world and towards future generations !! Well done EARTH 51 for creating this course. Thank you !!”

“A brilliant offering from EARTH 51, a highly informative, extremely well executed certification course. I have gained so much insight in such a small time - it challenges the norm and presents a compelling case for all organisations and individuals to lead with purpose. A huge Thank You to the awesome team at EARTH 51. ”

“I strongly recommend this course brought by EARTH 51 to every leader who is on the starting path to drive sustainability into their company. There is no other way to run a business these days than to redirect it to a more fair/clean/equal/better world. As you will learn in this course, this is critical not only for the survival of our planet but for the survival of your company.”

“Very rarely do I say this but recently, I had a life-changing experience through an education platform called EARTH 51. The Driving Sustainability Leadership certification by EARTH 51 has truly been an eye-opening journey. As part of the corporate system, I’m clear today that the biggest challenge the world faces is the lack of understanding on why sustainability is critical to our business survival. ”

“If you want to understand the role sustainability plays in the survival of our businesses and our planet, this is a great place to start”

“Congratulations to the team at EARTH 51 - leading the way in helping organisations place sustainability at the center of achieving profitability & integrating sustainability in the corporate DNA. Companies are increasingly committed to training their workforce on sustainability as part of their future financial investments. How cool is that! ”

“How do you thread sustainability across an organisations' fabric? How do you drive change from the ground up? How should businesses recalibrate the balance between profit & planet? These are questions that are front of mind for every business leader today. This course is a MUST for everyone, working at any level, in an organisation - it injects the value systems and business acumen desperately needed by leaders of today to deliver a stronger tomorrow.”

“Wow, totally blown away by this course! We have a long way to go to make our planet sustainable (and no it's not just about climate change); reducing e-waste, fostering ethical tourism, even the day-day things we do as an individual and as a business, there's so much to be done. The first step is to understand what sustainability is, if you claim to care about our planet's health and where it's heading then you must do this course. ”

“This course provides a good future-fit overview to balance human needs; both of organisations, people and the planet. I will be using the content delivered by EARTH 51 to coach and mentor startups, founders, universities and change makers to break down the corporate walls and misunderstanding of the big players in industry.”

“A useful, thought provoking introduction that brought the extent of our global situation into sharp focus with Earth Overshoot Day figures. Truly shocking! It also highlighted the possibilities to make change happen through the UN SDGs. It was interesting to explore the role of technology as both hero and villain. It is a huge subject that can get overwhelming with all the bad news. This course avoided that with a balanced approach that left me feeling empowered and pro-active. The inflection point this decade made the issues and need to take action very clear. The struggle of business and industry being used to having control and having to face shareholders, clients and employees is key. It was useful to have the advantages of being an early adopter laid out as well as the ability of the business sector to change fast. Business sector holds the most wealth to invest - $110 trn of 150 trn total global GDP. A very important figure!! I noticed an anomaly in the 'Financing change' module that I may have misunderstood, but may be worth your while checking. In Figure 1 under 'impact investing' I think you were saying 'trillions' while the actual figures are shown as billions on the chart. Thus the amount is a very small percentage of global GDP, not 35% but .035%. I apologize if I've got this wrong! I really liked the clear data on investment. Consequences of inaction, a great overview of the complexity and moving parts at play to keep in mind. They are all risks. The industry insights were very useful to have expanded out for scrutiny with the major risk factors highlighted. Small Steps Big Impact gave a practical way forward to deliver incremental change over time. You laid out very clearly how the private business sector will have to move funds and actions forwards fast to redress the damage done and make change for the future. You make a compelling case. The 10% change is a practical way forward to correct the course. Also the need for individual businesses to pull in the same direction as at the national and global level for the change to be delivered most efficiently. I absolutely understand the need for a holistic approach. On a personal note I want to sincerely thank Akhil and all at Earth51 for allowing me access to this course free of charge through being a volunteer with Ethical Reading. I really enjoyed the course and will be sure to publicise its value to my networks. Thank you for the great work you are doing! Would you be willing now or in the future to be a guest on the Ethical Reading Podcast? I am the host and would love our listeners to hear about your work. My email is [email protected] Thanks again, Kind Regards Linda Duff ”
