Lazada launches Lazada Sustainability Academy

The training programme is part of Lazada’s ESG goals for sustainable transformation.

Lazada Group has opened the Lazada Sustainability Academy (LSA) as a push for sustainable growth and awareness in Southeast Asia.

Targeting small and medium business owners and retailers, the programme provides training and immersion, as well as necessary resources, to promote future-proof and transformative sustainability in the digital commerce system.

The LSA is composed of three key curriculum components: bite-sized learnings, wherein e-learning content showed sustainability concepts; ask-the-experts interview series, wherein external knowledge partners, such as the International Trade Centre, Deloitte, and NUS Business School, are invited to share their insights; and seller acceleration camp, wherein participants undergo an intensive boot camp revolving around the impact of sustainability.

Every course of the training aims to introduce retailers to Lazada’s urgent sustainable measures, such as ecological-friendly packaging practices, energy-efficient operations, product traceability, circular economy, and employee health and safety.
