About the Seminar

Sustainability Strategy: Methods and Tools for Its Implementation is part of a series of four seminars offered in the scope of the Senior Leadership Program. The seminar can be taken separately or as a part of the whole Leadership Program.

Sustainability has become a strategic imperative and a driver of social change and enterprise innovation. Furthermore, the shift to compulsory corporate sustainability reporting for designated companies will ultimately affect all their related value chains and stakeholder networks. Nothing less than systemic change is on the cards. Denying these developments will be irresponsible and mere compliance may lead to laggard behaviour and eventual irrelevance. Stakeholders want more and will reward companies that thoroughly embed sustainability into their core strategies and business processes, products and relationships.

This seminar offers you an opportunity to update your knowledge and make business sense and strategy of sustainability science. It is an invitation to work with and learn from others who also have chosen to be at the forefront of the new world and challenging future taking shape around us. Attending the seminar will also empower you to face the change and embrace the transition that the sustainability agenda presents us with and lead your business with more courage and wisdom into the future.

The seminar will be a hands-on design experience. If you do not have a sustainability strategy yet, the seminar will be your kick-start. If you have one, you will be able to amend and enrich it. We encourage you to bring a colleague or team with you to enjoy the benefits of collaborative learning and design from the beginning.
