Everyone can change
the world
With the right tools at their disposal, everyone can make a difference.
Companies, professionals, governments, citizens: each one of us can create a different world, in which development happens respectfully of nature and people. With LifeGate Education, we want to give companies and professionals the best online tools to:
- find their path in a context where sustainability is increasingly the most important keyword;
- integrate sustainability into their activities and build their sustainable image;
- discover their sustainable future and use its enormous potential.
The transition has already started. Do you want to be part of it too?

We have always deeply
believed in it
We believed in sustainable development since our founding, in 2000, when talking about sustainability wasn’t fashionable.
We were ahead of the times when we started, and gradually created a community with over 5 million people who are passionate about sustainability. We have consolidated relationships with the European Commission, the FAO, Italy’s Environment Ministry, universities and research institutes (e.g. CNR, ISPRA, Milan Polytechnic, Turin Polytechnic, EPFL), regional and council administrations (e.g. Lombardy Region, Milan, Parma, and Mantova Councils) and leading NGOs in the sector (e.g. Emergency, Legambiente, Vidas). We were part of the editorial team for Expo 2015 and have assisted hundreds of companies on their path to sustainable development.
Sustainability is, and always has been, our life. We're certain that it's the only key for facing the future responsibly.

Sustainability is the future
The economy is headed toward a model in which the interests of the people, the planet, and profit must converge.
Consumer expectations, social pressure, increasingly stringent legislation, demands from stakeholders, and the comparison with ever more prepared competitors impose the adoption of authentically sustainable ways of doing business. A responsible company integrates sustainability into its strategies and then, consequently, into its business functions and activities. It’s not enough to allocate a new resource in the organisation chart: sustainability must be deeply integrated into all areas of business.

E-learning is quality
Any successful entrepreneur or independent contractor knows that
the biggest possible investment is in people and their personal and professional growth.
Whether you’re a freelancer, an employee, or a business manager, it’s essential to progress professionally by building new skills and expertise.
In recent years, e-learning has experienced significant growth thanks to its many advantages:
Accessibility
all the spatial and temporal barriers faced when organising training courses are knocked down;
Convenience
costs per participant are reduced thanks to the scalability of e-learning courses;
Flexibility
training courses can be accessed from anywhere, at any time, for as long as is required;
Efficacy
attention levels are increased by using video lessons and interactive participation mechanisms;
Speed
the possibility of adopting a “learning by doing” methodology results in the minimisation of learning times;
Monitoring
the format allows learning progress to be continuously monitored;
Versatility
the possibility of using multiple communication channels (1-to-many, 1-on-1, many-to-many);
Adaptability
the option to access content multiple times, watching video lessons over again as needed;
Aggregation
the possibility of creating learning communities.
