Impact Africa Consulting Limited, a leading provider of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) training in Africa, has unveiled a new initiative aimed at increasing accessibility to sustainability certification. The firm, which was ranked fourth globally in GRI training in 2024, is now offering the GRI Certification Program at a discounted rate of €300 for students and €400 for professionals, down from the original price of €500. This move is part of the company’s commitment to making sustainability reporting expertise more attainable to a wider audience. The certification program will be delivered entirely online, allowing individuals from across Africa and beyond to participate.
Dr. Edward Mungai (PhD), the Lead Trainer at Impact Africa Consulting and a renowned global sustainability expert, emphasized the importance of this initiative in promoting sustainability knowledge across various industries. He highlighted that sustainability reporting has evolved from being a niche practice to a vital component of corporate strategy and accountability. By reducing the cost of GRI certification, Impact Africa Consulting aims to empower both students and professionals to acquire globally recognized expertise and establish themselves as leaders in sustainability within their respective fields.
The GRI Certification Program offered by Impact Africa Consulting is designed to equip individuals with the technical skills and practical knowledge needed to drive responsible business practices, enhance transparency, and meet the increasing demand for sustainability professionals worldwide. The GRI Standards, known as the leading framework for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, enable organizations to effectively disclose their sustainability impacts, improve decision-making, and build trust with stakeholders.
Certification in GRI Standards provides a competitive edge in career advancement and employability. Batuli Majid, a certified GRI trainer, highlighted that professionals with GRI certification are highly sought after by businesses, investors, and regulatory bodies due to their ability to design and implement robust sustainability strategies. This makes them valuable assets in today’s job market, particularly in roles related to corporate sustainability, ESG consulting, impact investing, and regulatory compliance.
In addition to the certification program, Impact Africa Consulting offers a comprehensive learning experience to its participants. Students receive training from expert instructors, including Dr. Mungai, and gain access to a network of over 200 alumni for career growth and professional connections. The program also includes mock exams to help participants build confidence and improve their performance.
