8-Week Curriculum · 3 Phases
From ESG-Aware to Strategy-Ready
Mapped to the Climacto framework: Map · Measure · Act · Communicate · Monitor. Each phase ends with a real deliverable, not just a quiz.
The Capstone
Where learning becomes real
In Week 8, teams present a complete corporate sustainability strategy — built during the 8 weeks — to a panel of senior sustainability practitioners from the built environment and manufacturing across India and international markets. You graduate with a portfolio piece, not just a certificate.
Industries covered
Presented to a panel of senior ESG practitioners from the built environment and manufacturing.
Each team delivers
- Stakeholder map with engagement narrative
- Materiality matrix for the chosen industry
- GHG baseline and decarbonization shortlist
- A structured ESG roadmap with timelines
- Stakeholder communication deck
After The Accelerator
Your learning doesn't stop at Week 8
ClimActo Sustainability Learning Network
After completing the accelerator, all graduates gain access to a vibrant community of ESG practitioners — with live expert sessions, real-world case studies, peer networking, and continuously updated resources.
Your Faculty
Led by a practitioner, not an academic
Venugopal R
Founder & Managing Partner, ClimActo
12+ years in corporate sustainability across ESG, product, and building sustainability. Practitioner-led with hands-on implementation experience — not academic theory.
- Learn from someone who has been there, done that. Venu himself has transitioned from functional roles to sustainability, then to consulting and then became an entrepreneur in sustainability
- Shaped Saint-Gobain India's product sustainability roadmap — led the launch of India's first low-carbon glass in 2023
- ESG strategy, reporting & policy leadership across real estate, manufacturing, hospitality, transportation and services sector
- Member of national committees shaping net-zero carbon and building energy-efficiency codes
- Our programmes are practitioner-led and sought after for corporate sustainability and ESG training.
Why ClimActo
Six reasons this isn't another ESG course
Practitioner-led, not academic
Every session is grounded in hands-on ESG implementation, not textbook theory. Your instructor has done the work.
India-first context
GRI, SASB, and BRSR — global and India frameworks taught through a real-world lens because that's where your compliance starts.
Cross-functional by design
The cohort mixes functions and industries deliberately. You learn from 49 other perspectives, not just the instructor.
Action-oriented learning
Every week ends with microtasks which emulate industry realities. By Week 8, you have a portfolio of ESG deliverables.
Community that compounds
The Sustainability Learning Network (SLN) keeps the learning alive after Week 8 — live expert sessions, peer networking, and real-world case studies. 3 months complimentary access included.
Built environment & manufacturing DNA
Every case study, every framework example, every guest speaker comes from Real Estate, Building Materials, Hospitality, Infra or Manufacturing. Not generic corporate. Not IT. Your world.
Investment
What would this cost you otherwise?
Consider what you'd spend to get the same outcome through other routes.
Hire a consultant to build your ESG strategy
Materiality, GHG baseline, roadmap — delivered to you
Enroll in a full-time sustainability MBA or PG program
Career break required. 1–2 years out of the industry.
Learn it yourself over 10–12 years on the job
Like Venu did — and you'd still need the consulting experience.
