The Master in Corporate Sustainability lasts one year and is taught online. Its curriculum delves into the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) dimension of the transition to a green economy . On the financial side, it also addresses banking regulation and supervision regarding sustainability . In addition, the student will learn reporting, visualization and data analysis techniques for decision-making in environmental matters. You will learn with an innovative teaching method, using real case studies and practical experience.
Along with the official syllabus, the Master in Corporate Sustainability also provides access to a management skills course, an executive orientation course and an English course. It is, therefore, ideal training for professionals who want to lead the business transition towards a more sustainable economic growth model and hold management positions in energy and climate change policies or work in Corporate Social Responsibility Departments, among others.
