I en verden, hvor vi konstant skubber til planetens grænser, står det klart, at vores nuværende globale økonomiske model er en af årsagerne til voksende miljømæssige udfordringer og samfundsmæssige problemer. Vores kursus i bæredygtig transformation og cirkulær økonomi giver dig et overblik over den aktuelle udvikling inden for bæredygtighedsledelse, bæredygtig supply chain management og cirkulær økonomi.
På dette kursus vil du dykke ned i en kritisk refleksion over den nuværende lineære økonomiske model og de udfordringer, den skaber for det globale miljø og samfund. Du vil reflektere over forskellene mellem lineære og cirkulære forsyningskæder og diskutere de praktiske og teoretiske rammer for bæredygtighed og cirkulær økonomi.
Gennem analyse af bæredygtige og cirkulære forretningsmodeller og praksisser vil du identificere udfordringer og muligheder for bæredygtige forsyningskæder, cirkulær økonomi og cirkulære forretningsmodeller. Dette vil give dig en dyb forståelse af, hvordan du kan implementere disse koncepter i din egen organisation.
