ENROLL NOW

We live within an enormous ecosystem full of symbiotic relationships, supportive cooperation, and detailed networks. In order to become a leader in sustainable business, we need to take a step back and look at the system as a whole- not just as the sum of its parts or the microcosm of one company's impact. This course takes you through 8 different modules to deepen your knowledge about social, environmental, and economic sustainability, and how we all play a role within these systems. You will walk away from this course ready to create positive change through your role as a business leader.

 

Robust sustainability education is the key to transforming "business as usual" attitudes into innovative new business models, and has the potential to uproot our whole way of thinking about entrepreneurship, marketing, strategy, and our perspective of the world around us.

This course has been curated through years of professional and university education, and the design of this course is such that the information builds off each module, encapsulating and diving into the broad categories we are exposed to most in our daily life. 

Yes! This course is designed for anyone, at any knowledge level, to be able to take.

You do not need to be in a leadership position to use this certification. 



This course is the only course available to offer well-rounded sustainability knowledge without the need to get a degree.

Your certificate does not expire, however continued learning is recommended. The field of sustainability is a rapidly evolving area of expertise, and Scoop Intelligence will be offering one-off classes to further your knowledge in specific topic areas. Be on the lookout for these in the future!

All fields of sustainability are interconnected. The module topics were created to give you at least a cursory knowledge of the biggest sustainability topics today, and you learn how they all build off previous ideas. If you are a business professional that might not care for the dynamics of population, stick around. Your mind might change as we get to discussing environmental economics. 

We have incorporated the most frequently asked questions directly into the course and continue to update it based on the feedback that we receive.

As other questions arise, we recommend that you make a note of them so that we can cover all of them during any scheduled office hours.
