Our courses primarily focus on financial institutions and investment projects in transition and developing countries. This clearly includes the typical barriers to a more sustainable finance that one tends to find in these countries. Some more general courses may also fit bankers from developed countries.

Our e-learning courses focus on typical loopholes and practical examples – the content is connected to the everyday work of the user and to recurrent challenges. The user meets different characters in our courses each of which with a very specific job role. The characters interact with each other, discuss problems and jointly develop suitable solutions. In specific scenarios the user/trainee is part of this team, making decisions and get feedback. Therefore it’s not just scrolling through the content but solving challenges (unrated) and learn that way.

For larger customers Innovativkonzept GmbH will offer their assistance free of cost or at a nominal cost. Kindly get in touch should you require this assistance or learn from how this aspect was solved in other financial institutions.

Let’s say you want your staff (6 people) trained on 4 different courses you have pre-selected. Purchasing access to modules: 6x4x35= 840 €, Flatrate XS for 10 users and ten modules=1.200€. While purchasing modules is cheaper, a flatrate would give access to all our modules and to 10 people. This would make sense in case one of your colleagues from other departments (e.g. selected investment managers) would like to go through the courses as well.

You will receive regular user statistics from us.

Yes, you can. It is available under “Courses”. The sample content shows selected sections from various courses, with the aim to give a fairly good overview on how our courses look like and how they work. Alternatively you can request a test license for a course of your choice from us.

Generally no. However, if you provide us with a good explanation why you would want to use our content in writing upfront, we may consider your request.

As part of our CSR activities, we regularly offer free access to our courses to selected individuals. Kindly send a motivational letter to the following email address in order to apply for free access: ESG-Trainings@deginvest.de

Of course you can. You would just need to bear in mind that the original target group of the courses are bankers (good knowledge on banking and financials and limited background on E&S issues) or corporate customers.

The idea of offering our know-how through E-learnings came up through two country wide financial sector initiatives (Kenya and Sri Lanka) both co-funded (among others) by DEG. In the framework of these initiatives more than 25.000 bankers have undergone the E-learning courses successfully and the number is still rising as both platforms are up and running. Lessons learnt from these platforms have gone into the development of the present platform and courses improved considerably both in terms of content and functionality ever since.

The existing e-learning platforms in Kenya and Sri Lanka have been co-financed by the European Development Financing Institutions DEG (Germany), FMO (the Netherlands), Proparco (France) and OeEB (Austria) and were run by local bankers associations. Sustainability.Training is a spin-off of these two technical assistance projects. The technical partner is Farwell Innovations Ltd. (e-learning platform), Open edX (Learning Management System) and Digital Ocean (server hosted in Germany). The Sustainability.Training platform is promoted by a network of highly specialised sustainable banking experts working for Innovativkonzept GmbH, Germany, KfW and DEG. This KfW DEG e-learning platform on Sustainability and Corporate Governance has been financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Obviously, learning in a classroom is even more personal and interactive, but there are a lot of benefits to use e-learning. Due to its high degree of convenience and flexibility, the resources are available from anywhere and at any time. There is no hard and fast rule. Moreover, the courses can be offered at much lower cost per course delivered. Finally, good trainers are hard to find, if at all you find one. As a matter of fact, at Innovativkonzept we felt such a strong feedback for our life trainings that we could not cater to all requests and therefore opted to develop e-learnings instead.

As a matter of fact this was simple as obvious. This training platforms has been set up by DEG in June 2020 to serve training needs of its clients. Additional courses were added by KfW in 2021. The training needs as well as typical solutions to these needs have been identified in countless life trainings carried out by Innovativkonzept GmbH, KfW and DEG. The platform is intended to grow, hence kindly provide us with your ideas / recommendations on potential issues or topics you would like to see covered in upcoming courses per email (ESG-Trainings@deginvest.de).

All trainings are designed in a way to support KfW or DEG clients and other organisations and to familiarize with its E&S Requirements. Furthermore courses will help interested companies to build up their business case for sustainability. The team developing the courses not only comprised environmental and social experts but also banking specialist with a deep understanding of the necessary balance between economical, ecological and social considerations. As a rule of thumb, our recommendations focus on what is realistically feasible and also incorporate soft factors of how to bring about change. The way in which the content of the e-learning courses is conceived and designed is unique.

Yes, you can. For KfW or DEG clients HR Managers we offer access to one full course of their choice for a duration of one week, for test purposes. Kindly provide us your email and tell us which course you would want to get access to.
