“It was rewarding being in a class full of people I refer to as ‘change agents’, bringing bright minds together and making them ponder on global best practices is a good step towards meeting some of Nigeria’s sustainability challenges. The enthusiasm displayed by the facilitators and participants gave hope that Nigeria is on the road to bringing sustainability issues to the fore. The highly participatory and practical 3 day course provided tools and techniques to deliver effective sustainability reports that will demonstrate transparency and accountability.

I recommend this course to CSR practitioners and those charged with organizational change management”---- Lande Atere, Head, CSR, First Bank Nigeria PLC
