The integration of sustainable business practices into any organisation is through education and upskilling of individuals.

The Institute has incorporated best practices from some of the world’s leading academics and enterprises and turned them into practical tools that companies can directly apply in their operations.

The Institute of Sustainability Studies is looking to quadruple its student numbers in the next 12 months while also gearing up for future funding rounds to help its future expansion.

Justin Cullen, a former senior director at marketing communications agency Core, expects to raise €1m later this year to fund the Institute of Sustainability Studies, an online education platform he launched this month to train global small and medium-sized businesses on how to implement sustainability strategies.
