■ The objective of SeLT is to communicate the business case for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR) as widely as possible.

■ Companies know that if sustainability is to be embedded in their organisations, their staff will need training.

■ It is designed to raise awareness and provide employees with a set of tools to integrate sustainable development to their every day working life.

■ Its content – a mixture of information, video clips and interactive sessions such as role plays and quizzes engages and educates the learner simultaneously.
