ECOPATH is an Erasmus+ project that offers free, interactive training and resources to help small and medium-sized businesses understand and apply circular economy principles and ESG reporting to their business.
The training is delivered through a free, interactive learning tool that is designed to make sustainability reporting, practical, engaging and accessible for everyone.
ECOPATH is delivered through a gamified learning journey rather than a passive lecture series. Learners have interactive choices, realistic scenarios and step-by-step challenges, and explore the kinds of sustainability decisions businesses face every day, including navigating real-world issues through a fictional company.
