Diploma in Business Sustainability Graduate

Can you tell me about your professional background?

I work as a Brand Designer, having always had a passion for brand identity and branding strategies. In the past year, I’ve noticed customers asking us more about our environmental impact, so this was one of the reasons I decided to do the course.

Why did you decide to do a business sustainability course?

I decided to take a business sustainability course because I want to move into a career within the realm of sustainability in the future and contribute to a more sustainable world. The revolution towards this has already begun, and the vision of the world is changing. This is making brands that are more sustainable and ethical crucial for us creatives.

Why did you choose the Institute of Sustainability Studies as your educational provider?

I was searching for a course that would give me the cultural and technical knowledge on how to design a sustainable brand. When I discovered the course on Google and read the description, it appeared to be very comprehensive and appealed to me. 

Tell me about your learning experience on the course

The course gave me all the skills I needed, and I now feel confident approaching sustainability. The content was very clear and had an excellent flow, starting with more basic ideas and later diving deeper into specifics. 

What topics did you find the most interesting?

I enjoyed the Sustainability Planning, Circular Economy, and Green Marketing and Communication modules, especially because they are fundamental to my work. 

What has been the impact of doing the course on your career?

I am delighted to have completed the course and received my Diploma. The path I have taken has enabled me to delve even deeper into the strategies, processes, people, and valuable and renewable resources we have at our disposal to be able to create brands where humanity is at the centre of the strategy. Overall, the course gave me a good push towards a new vision and different viewpoints. 

What would you say to someone who is on the fence about doing the course? 

Do it – I’ve already recommended it to everyone. It’s very professional, informative, and up-to-date with the ever-changing world of sustainability.
