Turn Sustainability Knowledge into Practical Business Decisions
The eBSI Sustainability Academy brings together online learning in environmental sustainability, social responsibility, environmental auditing, ESG and sustainable international trade. Part of the electronic Business School of Ireland, the Academy helps professionals connect responsible business principles with the decisions they make in their organisations.
Sustainability affects how businesses use resources, work with suppliers, serve customers and consider their wider impact. For SMEs and professionals, the challenge is often knowing where to begin and how the different subjects fit together. The Academy provides a focused route into existing eBSI courses, from practical environmental management to the environmental, social and governance considerations relevant to international trade and trade finance.
Explore Our Main Subject Areas
- Sustainability in business: explore how sustainability and social responsibility relate to business practices and organisational priorities.
- Environmental management: develop your understanding of greening an organisation and the role of an environmental audit.
- Environmental, social and governance: build ESG knowledge relevant to exporters, importers and trade finance professionals.
- Sustainable trade and finance: explore the relationship between sustainability, international trade and trade finance decisions.

Learning for Responsible Business
The Academy supports business owners, managers, exporters, importers, finance professionals and people taking on sustainability responsibilities within an organisation. You can begin with an individual subject or combine courses to develop a broader understanding. The most suitable route depends on whether your immediate priority is environmental practice, responsible business, ESG awareness or sustainable trade.
Sustainability responsibilities often sit alongside other business duties, particularly in smaller organisations. Flexible online learning allows you to develop relevant knowledge without committing to a full programme at the outset.
