How we train

Training that comes from doing the work

Our facilitators are the same advisors who run sustainability programmes for listed companies, so every session is built on real projects, not theory. All of these are available today, in person or online, and tailored to your sector and maturity.

In-house programmes

Structured training that builds awareness and capability across your teams, from first principles to reporting.

Executive & board briefings

C-suite and board sessions on sustainability strategy, risk and future-proofing the business.

Masterclasses

Focused deep dives on a single framework or topic, such as IFRS S1 and S2, double materiality or carbon accounting.

Team alignment

Bring departments onto one plan, so sustainability is shared across the business rather than one person’s job.

Our IFRS training, now online

We’re turning our classroom experience into self-paced online courses, starting with two on IFRS S1. The first explains what the standard asks for; the second turns it into steps your organisation can start on. Take them in order or on their own. Both are open for enrolment now on GCX Academy.
