Sustainability & ESG - An Introduction for Small and Medium Enterprises
-
This is an introduction course aimed at staff members of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who are interested in diving deeper into sustainability.
2024 has been the warmest year on record surpassing the 1.5-degree mark for the first time. The reality of climate change highlights the urgency of efforts to move towards more sustainability. At the same time, new regulations and reporting directives such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) increase pressure on companies to transition towards more sustainability in transparent ways. In this context, ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) frameworks emerge as relevant tools and concepts.
-
By the end of this course, the learner will be able to grasp:
• The meaning of sustainability and why it’s relevant
• The importance of sustainability and its benefits for the SMEs.
• The different aspects of ESG: Environment, Social and Governance

Circular Economy - Basic concepts, practices, and framework
-
The Circular Economy is a system in which products and materials are kept in circulation to reduce waste and ease pressure on the planet. It stands in contrast to the traditional linear model of extracting resources, producing and consuming short-lived goods, and throwing them away. The Circular Economy is, therefore, a valuable asset in moving towards more sustainability.
Are you a student, professional, or responsible for an organization and would like to build your understanding of the Circular Economy? In this course, you will familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of Circular Economy and learn about different circular practices and how to implement them.
-
By the end of this course, the learner will be able to:
• Describe what the circular economy is
• Explain why it is important to transition towards a more circular economy
• Understand basic concepts, framework, and terminologies, such as the framework and the sharing economy
• Understand the social, economic, and environmental effects of the Circular Economy
• Name areas that are expected to grow in a circular economy context
• Give tips and examples on how to implement a circular economy
• Participate in a workshop on how to implement circular practices aimed at upcycling a product

I’m glad it affected my own personal views. Be it a business project or a personal project, I believe I would apply my learning through awareness actions of the importance of sustainability.
-
As I transition into the sustainability job market am certain all the information I gathered will be vital in my work
-
The clarification of ESG helped understand that there are different aspects and scopes but also that they sometimes can be applied all or many at the same time.
-
I think that it was amazing. [...] What I liked the most about the (tandem) program is that I got the opportunity to get in touch with people with very different backgrounds. I think it is important to have programs aimed to women, and I really liked it.
-
I gained a comprehensive understanding of the principles and frameworks shaping sustainable business practices. I learned to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into financial decision-making, enabling me to assess investments with a sustainability lens. Additionally, the courses equipped me with the knowledge to develop and implement marketing strategies that align with ethical and sustainable practices, emphasizing the importance of corporate responsibility in the modern business landscape.
