Sustainable transformation manager

Course overview

Sustainability as a guiding principle is becoming increasingly important in business, technology, ecology, and society. Numerous criteria and guidelines provide companies and institutions with an initial point of reference on the path to designing sustainable processes.

But how can the transformation to a sustainable company/institution be achieved? What steps does my company need to take on the path to sustainable production? And how can I holistically integrate sustainability into my working environment?

  • Corporate Sustainability Management: the importance of sustainability as a catalyst for change processes in a corporate context.
  • Business Development Management: concepts, scope, and process of business development in companies and institutions of various sizes.
