The Sustainability Course

A hands-on program for entrepreneurs who want to integrate sustainability into their business operations!

The climate, nitrogen, and resource crisis, the increasing loss of biodiversity, the housing shortage, and the growing gap between rich and poor require a different way of doing business. But where do you start? How do you tackle it? How do you get your employees on board? Where do you find the time, money and resources? Or are you already working on sustainability, but not leading to a concrete plan? The program 'The Sustainability Course', implemented by SOW Sustainability, helps you on your way.

The program brings entrepreneurs together to simultaneously start making their own organization more sustainable. As a participant, you work on your own sustainability strategy and share expertise, knowledge and experience with other entrepreneurs. All this is supported by sustainability experts who guide and advise you. SMEs in particular can play an important role in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable world. It is therefore of great importance for entrepreneurs to integrate sustainability into your strategy and operations. This program offers an excellent opportunity for this.
