Programme overview

As we come closer to exceeding planetary boundaries, conducting business as usual is no longer an option. Companies face increasing pressure to adopt net zero strategies, embed ESG, and address urgent sustainability challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and waste, inequality, human rights, diversity and inclusion and local community development. To remain viable and thrive in the future, businesses must actively change, engaging in circular and sustainable strategic models.

To do this successfully, business leaders and managers must build literacy, knowledge and skills in sustainability, while constantly adapting to a complex and uncertain world.

This Programme provides a powerful foundation from which to develop and implement practical and impact-focused sustainability strategies.
