There’s a pervasive myth that sustainability is a cost that doesn’t produce a positive return on investment. This results in inaction and the continuation of “business-as-usual.”
Yet, sustainable business practices create numerous benefits for businesses and organizations, including the opportunity to save money through efficiency and conservation practices while improving the bottom line.
In the Sustainability Transformation Course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of sustainable business practices to hone your business strategy, define your purpose, and realize savings.
During the course, you’ll have access to our Community Forum where you can connect with other Sustainability Champions.
To get even more out of the experience, take the course with a colleague in your organization or an associate in your field. Group pricing is available, contact us for more information!

Module 6 Recap
The Course includes: 8 online Course Modules, a Course Workbook, a Sustainability ROADMAP, 2 live sessions, and 1 Sustainability Coaching session. Expect to spend approximately 1-3 hours per week for 8 weeks. You can review the online modules at your own pace. However, we recommend following the weekly cadence to allow yourself time to work through each module and its corresponding Workbook exercises.
Your Sustainability Coach will help you explore your current situation and what opportunities you most want to pursue that fit your organizational goals, culture, and sustainability potential. Our coaches have decades of experience in the sustainability space and are excited to help you explore opportunities and connect you with targeted resources.
The ROADMAP is a tool to support the actions involved in Sustainability Transformation. It is where you will plan your sustainability initiatives, determine how you will measure their impact, and track your progress. It is also the place to jot down ideas to consider for further screening. You will have the option to upload your finished ROADMAP for evaluation and feedback by the REV+ALL team.
