Edflex x Institute of Sustainability Studies: sustainability, made actionable (and definitely not boring)

Let’s be honest: sustainability is no longer a “nice to have”. It’s a business, HR, regulatory, and employer branding issue, and sometimes even a “why is everyone panicking right before reporting season?” issue. In short, if your teams don’t upskill fast, stress levels probably will.

The good news? Edflex is partnering with the Institute of Sustainability Studies (ISS) to help organizations close the green skills gap with robust, accredited content that’s designed to be applied immediately (not “someday, when things calm down”).

Sustainability isn’t a keynote. It’s a skill you train.

Based in the UK, the Institute of Sustainability Studies supports organizations through CPD-certified training programs built to turn sustainability ambition into real, measurable outcomes. Their sweet spot? Business sustainability, a pragmatic approach that resonates just as much with RSE teams as with operational and executive leaders.

Their content covers key topics such as corporate sustainability, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), and the environment, all designed to embed sustainability into company culture, not just into a forgotten PDF somewhere on the shared drive.

The expected results: risk reduction, lower costs, new revenue opportunities, and organizations that are better prepared for what’s next. In other words: less “we’ll deal with it later,” more “let’s do this now.”

“Our partnership with Edflex is another step towards closing the green skills gap by making high-quality sustainability education more accessible. By bringing our accredited courses to Edflex’s platform, we can reach even more professionals who are ready to turn sustainability ambition into practical, business-ready action.” - Niall Collins, CEO @ Institute of Sustainability Studies

Interactive content: because sustainability is something you do

This is where ISS really stands out. Their courses are designed to drive action, with an interactive learning approach that boosts understanding and real-world application. Translation: it’s not just about raising awareness, it’s about building skills.

And when it comes to formats, variety is the name of the game (your learners will thank you): texts, articles, videos, visuals, podcasts… all designed to adapt to different learning styles and schedules, without compromising on depth or expertise.

The Edflex touch: the right content, at the right time

At Edflex, our role is simple: curate and aggregate the best learning content on the market, so teams can find what they need quickly, learn effectively, and actually make progress. With ISS, we’re strengthening a core promise: making sustainability accessible, actionable, and engaging.

In practical terms, integrating ISS content into Edflex means enabling companies to:

• build structured learning paths around sustainability (instead of stacking random resources),
• accelerate upskilling on critical, fast-evolving topics,
• offer a smooth, modern, usage-driven learning experience,
• and, most importantly, move from “we have a CSR strategy” to “our teams know how to deliver it.”

“With the Institute of Sustainability Studies, we’re strengthening our content offering around one of today’s most critical challenges: sustainability. Certified, interactive, and highly practical resources that help organizations move beyond intention and build skills that can be applied immediately. At Edflex, we like content that makes an impact.” - Stéphanie Beaufort, Content Partnerships Director, Edflex

With this partnership, Edflex continues to expand its portfolio of high-impact content, so sustainability doesn’t remain a side topic, but becomes a core, lasting capability.
