Association for Ecoinnovations joins the international ESG4VET Project
Project Title: Adapting VET to meet the needs of ESG compliance and twin transition via an inclusive and sustainable approach supported by AI-powered digital tools
Association for Ecoinnovations has joined the international ESG4VET project, implemented under the Erasmus+ programme in cooperation with partners from six European countries.
The project supports businesses and trainers in preparing for ESG requirements — the standards covering environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance. This is no longer just a trend — European regulations are gradually introducing mandatory ESG reporting for successive groups of companies.
As part of the ESG4VET project, a range of practical tools are being developed: a training programme for trainers, a digital platform with self-assessment tools, and a series of video podcasts featuring experts from across Europe.
The largest companies have been reporting since 2025 for the 2024 financial year, while others will be required to do so for the 2028 financial year, submitting their reports in 2029.
Although formal reporting obligations have been postponed until 2028, smaller companies may already be asked for ESG data by large business partners who are reporting now. That is why it is worth starting your preparation sooner rather than later.
Would you like to know more about ESG and how you can benefit from the project’s results for yourself and your business? Get in touch with us.

Project aims to inspire and guide SMEs in adopting eco-friendly practices through the EU Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) scheme. By promoting ETV principles and providing VET providers with comprehensive resources and tools, we support SMEs in the transition to sustainable development.

We implement the project 3DECO-PRENEURS4VET
Project Title: Promoting Digital Innovation for Better VET Skills Match with the Labour Market to Foster Sustainable Entrepreneurial Behaviours Through 3D Technologies
On December 16, 2024 we organised a virtual kickoff meeting for the project: 3DECO-PRENEURS4VET. The project addresses contemporary challenges in digital transformation and green transition by equipping vocational school teachers and students with skills in 3D modeling, design, printing, sustainable approaches, and social entrepreneurship. The project supports sustainable development and adapts vocational education to modern labor market needs through training materials, online platforms, workshops, and real-life problem-solving activities. Key results include a pin map of good practices, comprehensive training materials, an interactive platform, a QR code guidebook, and a handbook with solutions via 3D designs.
