Among the services provided, Edenark Group will offer internships and training opportunity to Sustainable Green Environment Initiative members who are looking to learn sustainability practices by involvement.  “Edenark Group has an internship program that allows intending sustainability professionals from around the world to participate in all aspects of preparing a client organization for becoming certified under the Edenark Group ISO 14001 program,” said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group.  “We all learn better and faster when we have real world experience; and if our internship program can help Sustainable Green Environment Initiative achieve its goals of reaching and training young professionals on sustainability, everybody wins,” added Goodman.

“Besides introducing Edenark Group to our other partners and the business community we interact with, we are excited to offer our members this one in a million opportunity of interning as a sustainability professional through the Edenark Group ISO 14001 internship and training program which will help the beneficiaries of this opportunity to scale-up in their respective careers and subsequently become  Sustainability Consultants in their different area of expertise,” said Sanmi Olowosile, Chairman of the Board of Sustainable Green Environment Initiative. “This also gives organizations, who choose to become certified sustainable under the Edenark Group ISO 14001 program, the added benefit of helping young professionals get hands-on training,” added Olowosile.

The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program and allows SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises) the ability to attain the world’s most respected and popular environmental certification standard via a program designed and priced specifically for them. Edenark Group also helps clients pursue carbon neutrality and ESG compliance, using the Edenark Group ISO 14001 as a foundation for long term compliance.

The program, which allows companies to progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, helps the organization define how it interacts internally, externally, and with the environment.  It incorporates energy/waste/water, employee health and performance enhancement, community involvement, procurement and suppliers, compliance and regulations, emergency/security, and stakeholder engagement.  Benefits include creating a culture of continual improvement, stakeholder engagement, lower costs, higher revenues and profits, improved employee performance, and…… doing the right thing for the environment and current and future generations.

“When an organization pursues, and attains, the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification, they are not just doing it to see their costs go down and revenues and profits go up.  They are setting a higher bar for their organization and sending a signal to all those around them,” added Goodman.  “They are agreeing to adhere to the world’s Gold standard for sustainability certification; are choosing to be a leader and part of the solution, not the problem; and are joining an elite fraternity of over 300,000 organizations, in over 150 countries, that have committed to continually improving in every way.”
