From €4,000 for a C-suite workshop to €8,000 for a full multi-audience programme.

📐

Bespoke Training Curriculum

A custom curriculum built around your industry, your specific regulatory obligations (CSRD-in-scope vs supplier-only, CBAM sector, EUDR commodities), and your team's baseline knowledge — not a generic off-the-shelf course.

👔

C-Suite ESG Literacy Workshop

A 2–3 hour executive workshop covering: EU regulatory landscape and enforcement timelines, board-level liability under CSRD, investor and buyer ESG expectations, and how to ask the right questions of your sustainability team.

🏭

Operational Team Training Modules

Half-day or full-day modules for plant managers, sustainability leads and procurement teams — covering practical CSRD data collection, CBAM embedded-emissions measurement at the installation level, EUDR traceability protocols, and ISO 14001 aspects and impacts identification.

📊

Post-Training Assessment & Gap Scorecard

A structured knowledge assessment after each module, producing a gap scorecard per participant role — showing where knowledge gaps remain and which topics need reinforcement or follow-up. Used to prioritise the next training cycle.

🔄

Annual Retainer with Refresher Modules

4 quarterly refresher sessions per year covering regulatory updates as CSRD delegated acts, CBAM implementing regulations and EUDR enforcement guidance evolve — plus a mid-year ESG knowledge audit and unlimited Q&A access between sessions.

EU sustainability regulations are changing rapidly — CSRD is in post-Omnibus review, CBAM definitive period is live, EUDR enforcement is active, and DPP delegated acts are being published. Annual retainer training keeps your team current without requiring a full re-engagement every time a regulation updates.

Frequently asked questions

 

Who is sustainability training for in a manufacturing company?

Effective sustainability programmes need three different training audiences: C-suite and board (ESG strategy literacy, regulatory liability, investor expectations — 2–3 hour workshop format), sustainability managers and reporting teams (CSRD/ESRS methodology, data collection, audit preparation — full-day deep-dives), and operational teams including plant managers and procurement (ISO 14001, energy monitoring, supplier engagement, CBAM data collection — practical, process-focused). Bespoke modules for each audience deliver better outcomes than one-size-fits-all training.

What topics can be covered?

Our training catalogue covers: CSRD and ESRS E1–E5, S1–S4, G1 (from board awareness to full implementation); CBAM embedded emissions and data collection for plant teams; EUDR due diligence and traceability for procurement and logistics; ISO 14001 EMS fundamentals and audit preparation; Scope 1/2/3 GHG accounting methodology; ESG KPI dashboard literacy for finance teams; and supplier engagement for sustainable procurement.

Is virtual or in-person training available?

Both formats are available. Virtual training works well for C-suite awareness sessions and geographically distributed teams. In-person training delivers better outcomes for hands-on operational modules — for example, ISO 14001 aspect/impact identification on the factory floor. We travel to client sites across Europe, the UK, and selected Asia-Pacific locations.

What is the annual retainer training option?

The annual retainer provides 4 refresher modules per year (quarterly) — covering regulatory updates as CSRD delegated acts, CBAM implementing regulations, and EUDR enforcement guidance evolve. It includes a mid-year ESG knowledge audit and unlimited Q&A access between sessions. This is the preferred option for companies whose sustainability teams need to stay current as EU regulations develop rapidly.

How much does sustainability training cost?

Our training starts from €4,000 for a C-suite workshop, up to €8,000 for a full multi-audience programme covering 10–50 staff across multiple modules. The annual retainer is available from €6,000/year. A free 30-minute scoping call confirms the curriculum, format, and fixed-price quote.
