Description

The multiple economic, geopolitical, environmental, and social challenges that we are currently facing means that companies need to rethink their relationship with society, their purpose, their strategy, and their business models.

This program aims to help managers play an active role in the transition towards a low-carbon, biodiversity-friendly, circular and inclusive economy, which respects the limits of our planet and people. This is not only an imperative. It is an opportunity for organizations to re-invent business models and to develop strong competitive drivers in the short, medium, and long term.

The program is hosted by HEC Paris, with one module carried out by SSE Executive Education. Together with participants from different countries with similar roles and challenges, you will acquire a more in-depth understanding of challenges, learn how to form a strategy, and develop your leadership to drive business transformation. It will give the participants a holistic perspective on sustainability that can be directly implemented in their daily work.

Our action-based learning approach combines theoretical and methodological input with concrete case studies, workshops, company visits, and sharing experiences. The program starts with an online module with on-site modules following in both France and Sweden. A live sustainability project, relating to your own business challenges, lets you formalize and contextualize what you have learned.

Program content

The program is divided into three modules of 3-4 days.

  • Module 1 – Identifying the major sustainability challenges
  • Module 2 – Embedding sustainability into main corporate functions
  • Module 3 – Building innovative and sustainable business models

A project focusing on sustainable development challenges serves as a common thread throughout the program.
