Kickster Academy
We empower people and organizations through training,
tools and practical knowledge
Regulation moves faster than most teams can build internal expertise. Kickster Academy turns 15+ years of EU climate policy work into structured training, from a self-paced course an individual buys in ten minutes, to a white-label portal built for a client's entire Tier-1 supplier base
We have created an Academy to promote the development of necessary knowledge for any organization to foster sustainable growth
Knowledge of policies, tools, trends, and the evolution of reporting methodologies are just some of the main topics that are useful to effectively implement initiatives to protect and enhance environmental assets, to integrate sustainable development principles, and to implement sustainability-oriented projects with an ESG perspective
ESG Quick Assessment
A short, self-serve ESG quick-assessment quiz
a lighter-weight, lead-generation-oriented sibling to the full ESG Assessment Corporate service
