Foundation sessions are conducted online in both large and small group formats (organized by region and randomly mixed) and include coaching and exploring the latest developments within the field of sustainability in business and the green transition. These sessions aim to equip participants with the tools and support to further enhance their change leadership skills and begin working on their strategic business project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each participant is asked to identify a challenge or opportunity relevant to their role or based on their organization\u2019s overall business needs and current approaches to sustainability. Participants receive support in applying newfound knowledge, ideas, and inspiration gained through the program.
