Sustainable Development: education, training, providers, info

Sustainable Development Master's programs are usually offered both full-time and part-time.

It is therefore possible to work part-time - although a reduced workload makes sense here, as there should still be enough time for preparation, follow-up work, studying and exam preparation.

The Sustainable Business Development course focuses on entrepreneurial strategies that are geared towards sustainable development. The aim is to combine economic success with ecological responsibility and social added value. Key questions such as:

• Sustainable corporate management: Which principles and instruments help to systematically integrate sustainability into corporate processes?
• Innovative business models: How can new, sustainable business models be developed that create long-term added value?
• Stakeholder management: What role do employees, customers, investors and society play in the sustainable transformation?
• Value chains: How can supply chains be made more transparent, fairer and more resource-efficient?
• Regulatory framework conditions: Which current legal requirements and international standards must be observed?
• Measurability of sustainability: Which key figures and tools can be used to record and manage sustainability in the company?
• Change management: How is sustainable change successfully communicated and implemented internally?

These topics provide a sound basis for anchoring sustainable development as an integral part of business decisions. Sustainable Business Development combines economic thinking with responsibility towards the environment and society - and makes sustainability a strategy for the future.
