Implementing digital technologies sustainably and responsibly

Description

The digital transformation of companies goes hand in hand with an aspiration to become more sustainable. As both transformations may change the heart of the business model, making digitalization and sustainability aspirations align can form a key challenge. This course aims to introduce professionals within the business domain to a nuanced, technology-oriented and pragmatic view of the sustainable implementation of digital technologies. The course will provide expert perspectives on cybersecurity and responsible IT practices, and participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the intricate interplay between digital technologies, and environmental and social sustainability in a corporate context. Here, you will gain insight into quantitative metrics essential for viewing sustainability but also show the alignment with broader organizational objectives, both in terms of digital transformation and sustainability (reporting) goals. Participants can expect an interactive course format, integrating online modules with a live workshop.
