We’re thrilled to announce that SoulBuffalo is releasing SALT: Sustainable Action Leadership Training.

SALT is a modern and compelling learning and development platform designed for organizations seeking to re-imagine what “learning” and “development” mean in the evolving context of environmental and social sustainability.

Today, corporations understand that a key to creating a vibrant and sustainable company is to create a culture that gets all employees — from the mailroom to the boardroom — engaged in day-to-day corporate sustainability efforts.

From Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and the circular economy to deforestation and climate, SALT is designed to link employees’ values and support for sustainability to their daily work and their companies’ operations.

SALT was developed in response to customers that have said they’ve invested in learning and development systems and have committed significant time and resources to defining and promoting sustainability goals, but have struggled to communicate, train and build fluency around these goals and initiatives across their teams and supply chain.

They typically identify these key differences in the SALT approach:

It’s sustainability first.

Unlike learning and development systems that are primarily targeted at HR, legal and compliance applications, SALT draws from SoulBuffalo’s experience creating actionable solutions for the world’s biggest environmental challenges. SALT embeds sustainability where the learning gap lies, allowing employees to see how it will benefit the company and the world — which in turn benefits them with stable, meaningful employment — engendering increased support for sustainability programs.

It’s learner-centric.

SALT enables learners to achieve sustainability fluency by getting the right information to them at the right time on the right device. SALT utilizes data to customize its platform and learning solutions and the environment is configured to reflect the same structure as your organization, for instance, by organizing learners and sustainability content by groups, departments, teams, and job types.

It’s powerful, yet easy to administer.

SALT allows administrators to easily access the data your organization needs to make informed decisions. SALT reporting and analytics dashboards empower you with key insights that make sense for your specific business. SALT helps administrators prove ROI for learning programs by tracking learner progress and success and removing the technical barriers to program success.

SoulBuffalo’s mission is to create actionable solutions for the world’s biggest environmental challenges. With the launch of SALT, we’re excited to get one step closer to a world where every company can promote a culture of sustainability through continuous learning around environmental and social innovation. We hope SALT helps you and your team accomplish your sustainability goals more effectively, with less effort. Interested? Contact us to learn more.
