Become part of the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative How to join What other participants say Participating in the SDG Ambition Accelerator course was an enriching, grounding, and inspiring experience at the same time. Enriching, as it provided a valuable opportunity to gain insights into different industries and companies. Grounding, because we are all facing similar challenges when it comes to e. g. complying with new regulations and incorporating sustainability into operations. And inspiring for two main reasons; firstly, the group discussions invoked my creative energy by encouraging alternative approaches to the challenges at hand; secondly, the 8-step methodology facilitated my reflection on previously set goals to enhance our corporate impact in the future.
