The Sustainable Business Masterclass in brief

The Sustainable Business Masterclass is aimed at sustainability professionals who want to contribute optimally to the sustainable design of their organisation. In a closed group of sustainability professionals, you work on the desired transition within your company. Be taught by experts and pioneers and immediately translate the theory learned into practice. You learn new ways of thinking about sustainability and CSR and get tools to apply this directly in your organisation. There is also room to reflect with other participants on your own role and development.
