What participants say about the program

The program enabled me to really learn what sustainability is about and how I want to make a difference to help my company move forward. The interactive experience got us out of our comfort zones and increased my awareness of all ESG perspectives I have to consider as a board member. Having to take a stand and take part in dynamic debates were highlights for me.

The deep knowledge of the faculty and the exchange of ideas with peers in a similar situation was an eye-opening experience. The real-life examples also helped me get a much deeper understanding on how I can introduce ESG to the boards with which I am involved.
