Certified Trainers
In 2022 we started with the initiative to train others to perform the trainings we do at GreenDelta, also assuring quality of trainings and knowledge of trainers. With the growth and uptake of openLCA also came the demand for trainings. We aim to reach as many people as we can with good quality support, in their own language and possibly even location.
