CIFAL Surrey, Institute for Sustainability

Objetivos del evento

The training objective is to equip business leaders and managers with the foundational knowledge of main sustainability trends, sustainability requirements, standards, and practices, so that they can implement and embed them into their organisation. In particular, participants will: 

  • Understand how the challenges relate to their organisation
  • Understand the role leaders can play to transition to sustainable practices
  • Develop strategic plans for sustainability, climate action, business resilience 
  • Explore key frameworks on corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental, social and governance (ESG)  
  • Practice how to (steps by steps) embed sustainability across business strategy, from holistic circular economy approaches to performance management 
Antecedentes

There is an urgent need for businesses to transition towards more sustainable practices. While global understanding of sustainability trends grows, together with increasing sustainability regulatory requirements for business, business leaders are often unequipped to face this transition and lack the foundational understanding of sustainability practices, mindsets, and strategies. CIFAL Surrey is committed to train business leaders and managers to support the transition towards a sustainable business ecosystem.
