Tailored for Small & Medium Sized Enterprises, Gecko has deverloped a streamlined training and capacity building program leading to the development of a Sustainable Development Plan (also known as an Environmental Management System).
Gecko’s objective is to ensure an SME can manage their own Sustainable Development Plan with minimal external support. To achieve this we spread the training over:
- 5 training Modules, with …
- 18 Sessions, covering the elements of a Sustainable Development Plan
- Supported by a Sustainable Development Plan Toolbox as a reference
- And a comprehensive list of links to further reading and reference material.
The program conforms to International Standards Organisation’s 14000 series and the Global Reporting Initiative’s Reporting Standards, making certification the final step is so desired.

The goal of Corporate Social Responsibility, Business Ethics, Good Governance Policies and Sustainable Management Practices is strong economic performance whilst contributing to social welfare without net environmental loss.
Many of the techniques and analytical methods utilised in developing a Sustainable Development Plan are applicable in creating an organisation’s CSR program.
Gecko has extensive experience in understanding environmental and social impacts, implementing good Community Relations practices, undertaking thorough risk assessments and developing appropriate corporate policy and strategies to achieve sustainability.
