Essential for any sustainability professional in 2026
After an honest review with some constructive feedback, the GRI team were very attentive and let me know that the course I was doing was outdated, and were kind enough to offer me an upgrade for the newest version of the course at no extra cost. The new course is very well crafted, with more interaction, better examples and also better exercises. I was very well impressed and it made the learning process quite easier and with less doubts, it was a bit like night and day! All in all, the new course is very good, I highly recommend it as being essential for any sustainability professional nowadays.

Dear Madalena,
We hope this finds you well.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate the time you took to explain your perspective, especially given your personal investment in the Program.
To clarify a few points: it is not possible to take only the final exam without completing the four certification courses, as these are designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge needed to successfully pass the exam. The courses form an integral part of the learning journey and certification process.
The voice used in our courses belongs to a member of our in-house content creation team. We aim to ensure consistency and clarity across our materials, and your feedback on audio and delivery helps us improve interactivity and accessibility for all learners.
GRI Academy courses are continuously updated to reflect the latest developments in sustainability reporting. Rather than a €100 fee, maintaining certification is achieved by completing our recertification courses, which cover current and emerging sustainability topics. As the sustainability landscape is constantly evolving, we feel it is important for professionals to refresh and expand their expertise regularly.
While our courses maintain a satisfaction rate of around 95%, we recognise that individual experiences can vary. Your feedback is valuable in helping us improve, and we would love to hear any further suggestions you may have. We will follow up via email to continue the conversation.
Kind regards,
The GRI Academy Team
