Leading Sustainable Business

Building Impactful Brands through SCR, ESG and Circularity


The Leading Sustainable Business programme mainly targets participants from non-European countries and/or NGOs who are active in these countries.

Sustainability is no longer an optional add-on, it has become a defining driver of business success and resilience. From climate change and resource scarcity to shifting stakeholder expectations and social inequalities, today’s leaders face complex challenges that demand strategic responses. Companies are increasingly expected not only to minimise negative impact but also to create lasting value for society and the environment. Leading Sustainable Business provides the knowledge, tools, and confidence to embed sustainability at the core of corporate strategy, ensuring organisations can innovate, compete, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

This programme provides a practical roadmap for embedding sustainability at the heart of corporate strategy, integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), sustainable finance, and Environmental, Social en Governance (ESG) performance management with circular economy principles to drive sustainable growth. The programme also addresses the financial and strategic implications of embedding sustainability, including sustainable investments (ESG funds, green bonds, tax incentives), ROI considerations, and the communication strategies companies use to rebrand around sustainability.
