Not sure where to get started with your employee training project?

Sustainability is not a "nice to have." Sustainability is a must have.

What empirical research says about sustainability and business performance:

Better financial performance.

"Sustainability strategies implemented at the corporate level can drive better financial performance through meditating factors - i.e. the sustainability drivers of better financial performance such as more innovation, higher operational efficiency, better risk management."

NYU Stern

Enhanced shareholder value.

"We find that firms with good performance on material sustainability issues significantly outperform firms with poor performance on these issues, suggesting that investments in sustainability issues are shareholder-value enhancing."

Harvard Business School

Better talent retention.

"71% of employees and job seekers said that environmentally sustainable companies are "more attractive employers." More than two thirds of respondents also said they are more likely to apply for and accept jobs with environmentally and socially responsible organizations."

The Challenges that We Solve For You

Developing in-house ESG training or using generic off-the-shelf content may seem like a viable option—but it often leads to significant challenges, such as:

01

Time-Consuming Development

Internal development takes months of work from internal teams, diverting them from their primary responsibilities.

​

ED4S has a reliable framework and pre-existing content that you can leverage on.

02

High Costs

Hiring subject matter experts or academic institutions to create quality content in-house is costly and can take up to a year.

​

ED4S content is prebuilt using research and content developed by reputable organizations such as SASB, ISSB, PRI, CFA Institute, etc.

03

Limited Relevance

Generic training often fails to connect to your company’s unique ESG strategy, making it hard for employees to see its relevance. Employees lose interest when training feels generic and irrelevant to their daily responsibilities.

​

ED4S puts the learner at the center and build the course based on what they need to know to activate sustainability within their roles.

04

Lack of Measurable Impact

Without clear links to company goals, it’s difficult to measure the effectiveness of generic training programs.

​

ED4S works with clients to define specific KPIs and strategies to track the effectiveness.

05

Content Updates

Sustainability content evolves quickly, adding burden on ESG teams to keep track of content update needs.

 

ED4S takes care of the updates for you and track the content to ensure that your training is regularly refreshed. One more thing off your to-do list.

06

Sensitive Topics

Sustainability topics such as climate change and DEI may be polarizing.

 

ED4S has developed a unique approach to ensure that content stays away from diverging values and perspectives and is anchored in risk management, value creation, and systems thinking.

07

Overwhelming Content

Subject matter experts and sustainability enthusiasts often overpack training content, making it overwhelming for learners who are just getting started.

 

ED4S ensures that training avoids unnecessary rabbit holes by simplifying and reducing complexity to create accessible and engaging learning experiences.
