Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Academy

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Academy, offered by Speeki Academy, is an online certification program focused on corporate sustainability due diligence and responsible business conduct. The program provides a solid understanding of current regulatory expectations and offers practical approaches to implementation.

CORE CONTENT

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Academy offers a structured path from the foundations of corporate sustainability due diligence through the regulatory environment to practical implementation. Participants begin with a clear understanding of the new requirements and legal considerations shaping due diligence. The course then examines how evolving regulations, including the EU’s CSDDD and Germany’s LkSG, affect businesses across different sectors. Attention is given to the design of management systems that support effective due diligence practices, with a focus on building processes that can be embedded into everyday operations. Finally, the programme explores practical strategies for implementation, enabling learners to integrate due diligence into decision-making and organisational activities.

KEY SKILLS

Participants learn to interpret corporate sustainability due diligence requirements and identify legal risks. They then develop skills in designing management systems that support compliance and align with international standards. Building on this foundation, the programme trains learners to implement due diligence processes across operations and supply chains, from risk assessments to partner engagement and assurance methods. Practical exercises reinforce these skills, giving participants the confidence to apply due diligence in real business situations.

TARGET LEARNERS

The course is designed for business leaders and executives who want to strengthen due diligence practices and ensure compliance across operations; compliance and risk management specialists seeking to deepen their knowledge in managing sustainability-related compliance challenges; legal and regulatory advisors working with complex requirements; and teams or organisations aiming to enhance their due diligence systems.

LEARNING FORMAT

The Academy combines engaging videos, interactive case studies, quizzes and assessments with downloadable guides and checklists to support learning. Each course is delivered in short one- to two-hour modules that can be easily integrated into participants' schedules, helping them build knowledge and practical skills without disrupting the workflow.

The Academy emphasises practical application, allowing participants to implement corporate sustainability due diligence principles through real-world case studies and exercises. The learning experience is interactive and engaging, designed to keep participants involved throughout the programme.
