Description/content Your motivation

You assume social responsibility and want to begin managing and shaping the future today.

As a sustainability manager, you will anchor and implement the multi-dimensional sustainability
agenda of the United Nations (based on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals) in your
organisation. You will manage and shape the future here and now. In doing so, you will promote a
sustainable change process in business and society.

Your outlook

You would like to become a specialist in sustainability and set up your organisation for a
sustainable future.

In the future, companies will have to address the issue of sustainability in a credible manner in
order to secure their competitive advantage and assume responsibility for a world worth living in.
Companies of all sizes and industries will need experts who develop, plan, implement, and report
on strategies to achieve sustainability goals.

You will become familiar with the legal requirements and societal expectations for the
sustainability of companies and organisations in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. To
meet these, you will formulate realistic goals, set focal points, and agree on priorities. You will then
determine effective measures in sustainability management, which you will implement in practice.
You will communicate the achieved sustainability performance internally and externally.

Programme content & competencies

You will deal with the social responsibility of companies.

To do so, you will learn about the theoretical and historical foundations of international
sustainability issues. You will acquire the necessary competencies to apply the whole range of the
sustainability agenda to organisations such as private companies and public administration. As a
sustainability manager, you will be able to develop goals, measures, and the corresponding
internal and external reporting for sustainability strategies. You will learn to analyse the different
interests of stakeholder groups such as employees, customers, and investors of a company with
regard to sustainability and to take them into account in your strategy. With this business-oriented
degree programme, you will acquire all of the knowledge and skills that you need to take on
management responsibility in companies.

You will develop management skills such as change management and leadership as well as explore
values and conflict pertaining to sustainability topics. These range from the basics of sustainability
management to the goals and standards of sustainability to communication about sustainability.
3
 Ecological, social, and economic aspects of sustainability will also be covered.

Through our elective modules, you will keep your eye firmly on your goal and specialise in the area
of management or sustainability.
