Digital Transformation for Sustainability
Digital Tools for the Twin Transformation
Green Deal, Circular Economy Action Plan, LkSG, or ESPR are just some of the terms companies currently have to deal with as part of their sustainability strategy and the environmental impact of their respective value chains. In addition to legal requirements and specifications, stakeholder expectations regarding the company’s ecological, economic, and social responsibility are also increasing. Therefore, It is becoming increasingly urgent for companies to design their business model, processes, and structures so that various sustainability aspects can be systematically recorded, evaluated, and optimized.
Digital transformation offers opportunities and tools for this, but must also be approached in a needs- and target-oriented manner in order to achieve the desired results. In the process of change towards an increased level of digitalization and sustainability, the “empowerment of the interface” plays a critical role in success. Only by thinking and understanding digital and sustainable transformation together can optimal interaction be achieved and the twin transformation successfully tackled.
In the Intensive Course “Digital Transformation for Sustainability – Digital Tools for Twin Transformation,” participants are introduced to both subject areas’ essential theories and practical tools. In the first part of the course, theoretical basics are taught. By combining this with practical transfer tasks, participants will then be able to apply what they have learned to their own company context. Keynote speeches by industry experts round off the modules and ensure an in-depth insight into the respective subject areas.
