What our clients say
Gabriele Tavazzani
CEO Amundi Austria
The Climate Return On Investment (CROI) of the Glacier Academy for Amundi Austria is that our Glacier-trained employees are now more aware and competent in climate and environmental action. They are inspired and motivated to develop their own tailor-made climate action measures and to implement them within the company. The result is a new joint Climate Corporate Collective Intelligence, which will support and accelerate the ecological change in the companies.
Alfred Mahringer
Senior Director Human Resources A1
The interest among our employees to be trained in ESG by Glacier is enormous and shows how scaling on ESG can also work in corporations. We also value the exchange with other organisations very much.
Mirjam Ernst
Head of Corporate PR & Sustainability Vöslauer
Sustainability is anchored in our entire company and our colleagues play an important role as valuable ambassadors, but also in the implementation of our measures. With its exciting and well-prepared course content, the Glacier Climate Academy supports us in imparting climate knowledge and equipping our colleagues with real know-how. Another USP is that a competent and diverse sustainability network has now been created where companies can exchange ideas and learn from each other.
