"As someone who has always believed in the philosophy of people and planet over profit, I was looking for a program which arms me with the knowledge and skills to drive sustainability within organisations I work for. My search ended with me enrolling in the Diploma of Sustainable Operations at the Australian College of Business Intelligence (ACBI). This course prepared me to work and excel as a sustainability officer. What I liked the most about studying at ACBI was their commitment to providing a curriculum that ensured that students are always learning strategies and practices that reflect the latest in sustainability. The course covered everything from measuring and reporting carbon footprints to developing strategic sustainability plans and conducting emissions audits.
