Shahin Hirji

Optimize Group Inc.

This program was key to transitioning my career to the corporate sector after 15+ years in non-profit. In fact, I received three job offers within two weeks of graduating from the program. The program content was engaging, relevant and included case studies featuring Canadian best practices. As well, it was inspiring to be with other like-minded people who are committed to making the world a better place.

Jodi Baxter

Telus Health

This program gave me the foundational knowledge I needed to advance both my personal understanding and professional credibility in sustainability and social responsibility. The program’s access to leading industry experts and its diverse community of practice is invaluable. I look forward to championing ESG with the support of my new practitioner network.

Marley MacDonald

Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation

I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to advance their career in corporate sustainability, ESG, CSR or social performance. Despite having several years of social performance experience internationally, I struggled for months to secure a job in the corporate sustainability field in Canada. As part of the strategy to advance my career in the field, I wanted to deepen my understanding of the corporate sustainability landscape in North America.

Adnan Zaman

Newmont Corporation

This program has been so influential on my organization and career. Soon after joining the program, I was promoted to VP, Global Corporate Responsibility. I presented my Module 2 Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks evaluation to my senior leadership team to inform our strategy, and I passed the Sustainability Associate exam with the International Society of Sustainability Professionals during the program.
