What learners and organisations say

Quote from Krishna Bahadur Kumal, Technical Coordinator, Bizbell Pvt. Ltd.: Being appointed as Nepal's first accredited assessor for the Hydropower Sustainability Standard is a profound honor that I deeply cherish. Nepal's abundant potential for sustainable hydropower offers a significant opportunity to attract foreign investment. As an Assessor, I am committed in shaping industry practices prioritizing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors, thereby driving sustainable hydropower development and encouraging foreign investment in Nepal. Quote from Andrew Sembel, Director, E&S Consulting Services, AFRY South-East Asia: The certified user training allowed me to discover various applications of the HS Standard and gain insights into its business value, particularly in managing complex ESG challenges. I highly recommend attending this course. Quote from Yusuf Suryanto, Director of Transmission, Electricity and Aerospace, Bappenas, Indonesia: The Hydropower Sustainability Standard (HSS) is one of the internationally recognised tools that has been widely applied as a global best practice in hydropower development. Through the application of this tool, the acceleration of electricity sector development can be achieved, generating multiplier effects and contributing to the government's target of 8% economic growth.
