We believe that the cost of learning, especially sustainability, should be free. The reason being, sustainability is for a better world, and so there should be lots of free resources available. “United Nations Guiding Principles On Business and Human Rights” (https://www.unglobalcompact.org/library/2) is our main basis of sustainability integration, assessment and reporting. So following are the learning resources link, and most of the resources are free to public.
There are 1000+ free courses from United Nations, so you need to be careful before selecting a course:
- Most of them are free; however it is worth a check.
- Many of them provide a certificate after a test, so if you are after certificate then please check before enrolling on that course.
- All of them are online, so you need to have an internet.
- Many of them are self-paced, so you can do course at your speed; however please check.
- Course duration starts from 2 hours, so try to select a course which fits your time commitment.
- All of them provide some knowledge about sustainability, so focus on your sustainability topics.
