CERTIFICATE COURSE SUSTAINABILITY GENERALIST

Practising sustainability is not just the law, it is an indispensable part of our future! The demands placed on corporate sustainability work by the law, customers and all other stakeholders can no longer be met by a single department in the company. Sustainability is not only a law, but above all an attitude and affects all areas of the company. This course provides an overview of the broad field of corporate sustainability work - from what the law requires to the opportunities offered by corporate sustainability in practice.
