Raising management awareness – UN Sustainable Development Goals

Organizations of all kinds are increasingly seeking to participate in sustainable development. Pressure from employees, customers, investors, a parent company or other contractual requirements are just some of the reasons. First and foremost, companies need to be familiar with the concept of sustainable development and the objectives set by the UN. An organization’s commitment to a sustainable future must then be translated into concrete action. Without it, the organization’s credibility can be severely damaged.

But what is sustainable development? What are the UN’s sustainable development goals? How can an organization help achieve these goals? How can they be integrated into a business model on a daily basis, without making it more cumbersome? How can the organization benefit from this approach?

This organization-specific training course addresses these issues for executive and/or administrative committees.
