About the course
Sådan kan din virksomhed spille en aktiv rolle i den grønne omstilling
Den grønne omstilling stiller nye krav til virksomhederne, som må lære at navigere i et bæredygtighedslandskab i rivende udvikling. I dette fag tager vi udgangspunkt i jeres virksomheder og udvikler sammen klimastrategier:
→ Hvordan navigeres uklare retningslinjer og modsatrettede krav fra forskellige interessenter?
→ Hvordan sikres det, at bæredygtighedstiltag skaber reel værdi og virker efter hensigten på kort og lang sigt?
→ Undervejs dykker vi også ned i, hvilken rolle EU-politik, FN's Verdensmål og regeringens klimaplan spiller i praksis.
Faget er designet til dig, som ønsker at være med til at drive den bæredygtige udvikling inden for rammerne af den virksomhed, hvor du arbejder.
