ABOUT THE ACADEMY

The Nemetan Academy teaches an emerging discipline: how to find, develop and prove Sustainability Opportunities systematically, rather than leaving them to a workshop's best guess. Sustainability reporting has spent a decade building rigour around Risk. The Opportunity side of the same picture has never had an equivalent method. Nemetan is pioneering one.

Our teaching runs in three streams that build on each other: short introductory courses for the foundations, the Certificate in Sustainability Ideation for finding Opportunities, and the Certificate in Sustainability Value Creation for testing whether they are credible enough to back. Together they take you from a first taste of the method to running it yourself.

These streams are not fixed. Nemetan's ongoing primary research into sustainability ideation and value creation continually informs what we teach, so the curriculum grows as the evidence base grows. What you learn reflects the current state of the field rather than a syllabus written once and left alone.

We are also honest about how new all of this is. Double materiality, and the expectation that companies weigh Opportunity alongside Risk and Impact, has only lately become mainstream, so the field of sustainability disclosure itself is recent. Our work in it is exploratory by its nature: built on the best current evidence and proven practice from adjacent fields, and refined openly as the discipline matures. We think that candour is a strength, not a caveat.

NEMETAN ACADEMY

Learn to find and prove Sustainability Opportunities

Nemetan is pioneering an emerging field: a systematic, evidence-based approach to Sustainability Opportunity Discovery. The Academy teaches that method, from short introductory courses to two full professional certificates.

WAYS TO LEARN

Three ways in, from a first taste to a full certificate

Short courses

Three self-paced introductory courses that build the foundations: Seeing the Opportunity, Framing the Opportunity, and Choosing the Tools. The on-ramp to the certificates, and useful on their own.

Certificate in Sustainability Ideation

The SPARK method: learn to turn a material sustainability topic into evidence-grounded Opportunities, systematically rather than by brainstorm. An Orientation module plus ten modules.

€1,900 per person

Certificate in Sustainability Value Creation

The PROVE method: learn to test whether a concept is credible enough to back, before you commit real time or money. Ten modules, the natural next step after Ideation.

Not sure where to start?

If you are new to this, the short courses are the natural first step. If you already work in sustainability strategy, the Ideation certificate is the place to begin.
