Sustainability / Decarbonisation / Project Management
Decarbonization, Sustainability, ESG, Green and Healthy Buildings. Understanding these concepts is essential for businesses as it addresses the urgent need to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also presents opportunities for innovation and cost savings while positioning companies as socially and environmentally responsible. A common misunderstanding in sustainability is that it is only about being "green" or environmentally focused, when in fact it also includes social and economic factors. Additionally, many believe that sustainability only applies to certain industries, when it should be integrated into all aspects of business operations. In my professional career, I have helped many companies to make progress towards their Sustainability goals. I have worked with global companies as L'Oreal, Mastercard, Petronas, Osram, Novartis, Grand Hyatt, Hard Rock Hotel, Westin Hotel to help to get their building certified under LEED. I also worked with Financial Institutions to provide roadmaps on how they can decarbonise globally. With 15 years of experience, I am have become a subject matter expert on this topic with all the credentials you would expect (LEED AP, WELL AP, FITWEL Ambassador, RESET AP) I have seen first hand that many successful and intelligent people still have a lack in understanding of the key concepts surrounding decarbonisation, Sustainability, ESG and Green Buildings. . This can lead to inadequate action to reduce them, resulting in continued harm to the environment and potential long-term consequences. It also hinders the ability of businesses and governments to make informed decisions to transition towards a sustainable future. I am passionate to help you become a person that is educated in one of todays defining topics. All of my courses are focused on Sustainability, Green Buildings, and Decarbonisation and will directly help you to become knowledgable.
