/eˈfiko/ : effect, impact.
Efiko Academy is the one-stop learning hub empowering professionals with green and social impact skills to accelerate the shift to a climate-friendly, regenerative and equitable economy.
We envision a world where all public and private organisations manage stakeholder value in ways that optimise positive social, environmental and financial performance.
The impact revolution is upon us
Our economic systems are being reshaped following rapid biodiversity destruction, climate change and soaring inequalities. Transforming the private sector from a polluter and driver of inequality into a leading force for positive change is critical. This can only happen if we address the soaring Sustainability Skills Gap
“People are not developing green skills at anywhere near a fast enough rate to meet climate targets.”
- Sue Duke, Head of Global Public Policy for the Professional Network LinkedIn

What makes us unique
Diversity
We believe in the power of bringing voices from various walks of life together to tackle our common problems. Diversity is an imperative to move away from biased solutions and erroneous understandings of problems. It empowers us to effectively tackle a wide array of issues.
Practice
Online education should be everything but a passive, hands-off experience. It is by applying what you hear to your own reality and interacting with others that you truly understand the value of what you have learned.
Partnership
We don’t want to reinvent the wheel. We work together with standard setters and experts to convene and showcase best-practices that are widely accepted, yet considered forward-thinking in the sector.
