The certification process begins with an e-learning course
designed to create awareness and increased knowledge of sustainability. This unique
interactive course brings sustainable development into clear focus by having the
user step into the shoes of a manager at a virtual small business. The supplier
company has been charged by its corporate client to become a sustainable enterprise
and participate in the training session.
Sustainable Advantage© provides the business case for learning about sustainable
development. By introducing the topic of environmental responsibility in a simple
and engaging way, the message of sustainability can be conveyed to a wide range
of sectors, functions and levels of management.
The training offers flexibility and can be completed through continuous or modular
study. Upon successfully passing a post quiz, the participating company advances
to the next level.
A virtual hands-on workshop allows small businesses to develop
competencies as they link sustainable development in theory with real-life business
solutions. An easy-to-follow online process guides the company through a series
of planning stages. Seven instructive steps provide technical assistance as users
are engaged with a mix of activities such as conducting mini-audits; creating a
company vision, establishing sustainable policies, as well as mapping strategies
to operations.
Valuable data is collected through a proprietary Learning Management System as users
input baseline information into a variety of online templates. This data is then
aggregated into a comprehensive plan draft that is necessary to move the company
forward in achieving sustainability. At a minimum, the customized plan will establish
baselines and include details of the company’s impact reduction initiatives, actions
that need to be taken, specific reduction goals, targets and timelines.
A printable plan draft can be downloaded upon completion.
