Impact Africa Consulting Limited has introduced a new initiative to enhance accessibility to sustainability certification by offering the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Certification Program at a reduced cost.
Students can now enroll for €300, down from €500, while professionals will pay €400. The fully online course aims to reach a wider audience across Africa and beyond.
Dr. Edward Mungai, Lead Trainer at Impact Africa Consulting, emphasized the initiative’s importance for advancing sustainability knowledge across various industries. “Sustainability reporting is no longer a niche practice but a critical component of corporate strategy and accountability. We are ensuring that both students and professionals have the opportunity to gain globally recognized expertise and position themselves as sustainability leaders in their respective fields.”
This program aligns with Impact Africa’s commitment to equipping individuals with essential technical skills and practical knowledge to promote responsible business practices and enhance transparency. The GRI Standards serve as a leading framework for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, enabling organizations to effectively disclose their sustainability impacts and improve decision-making.
Batuli Majid, a certified GRI trainer, noted the certification’s career advantages: “Sustainability reporting expertise is increasingly sought after by businesses, investors, and regulatory bodies. The GRI Certification equips professionals with the ability to design and implement robust sustainability strategies, making them highly valuable in today’s job market.”
Certified professionals will gain skills necessary for corporate sustainability roles, ESG consulting, impact investing, and regulatory compliance. They will be able to develop and publish sustainability reports that meet global standards, assess sustainability risks, and guide companies in ESG disclosure.
Impact Africa Consulting also enhances the learning experience by offering training from expert instructors and access to a network of over 200 alumni. Participants receive five mock exams to build confidence and improve performance, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application through real-world case studies.
Enrollment for the discounted GRI Certification Program is now open. Interested students and professionals can register through the official website at Impact Africa Consulting.
