Sulitest is a growing organization, supporting universities and business schools worldwide to advance sustainability education. Our flagship tool, TASK™ (The Assessment of Sustainability Knowledge) is the first internationally recognized certificate on sustainability knowledge (the equivalent of the TOEIC for sustainability). As of today, 100 higher education institutions use TASK™ and over 100,000 students have completed the assessment.
The Sulitest movement is strongly supported by major national and international NGOs and organizations (i.e. the United Nations and the Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI)) and has raised 1.5M€+ in 2022.
