Fifty Shades Greener (FSG)
As its name suggests, Fifty Shades Greener places climate change at the forefront of its business objectives. 'Greenhouse gases', 'carbon emissions', and 'net zero' have become buzzwords surrounding conversations about climate change; however, instead of just talking about these issues, FSG believe change can only come by learning and then applying what we learn to make an impact in the real world.
The Ireland-based company is a world leader in sustainability, offering qualifications and consultation to employers, businesses, and governments. CTH has recently worked with FSG to develop a new qualification - targeting hospitality professionals who desire to reduce the carbon footprint at their organisations.

Self-sustenance, self-esteem, and freedom for all women - those are the goals of She Unit Uganda and those are the reasons they continue to uplift single mothers and struggling women and provide them with the practical skills they need to improve their situations.
The Ugandan non-profit organisation offers free-of-charge training in hair and beauty (hair dressing, make-up, nails and shampoo and conditioner production) - an industry that has less barriers for women to enter. Through their training and guidance, the young women involved in the programme will gain an education and a chance at entrepreneurship.

Stonewall
According to the 2018 LGBT in Britain Work Report - 'One in five LGBTQ+ people were the target of negative comments at work'; this is unacceptable and with the help of Stonewall, this stat will go from one in five LGBTQ+ people to zero.
Stonewall is an organisation with over 20 years' experience offering employers diversity training and development through their Diversity Champions Programme, as well as other tools and services. They also offer inclusion schemes that target schools and colleges, aiming to educate staff and students across the UK.
