Today, sustainability and social responsibility are highly important topics in the corporate world. Business strategies based on an ESG perspective must not only meet social expectations, but also the upcoming new legislative changes. As a result, companies will need at least one employee with up-to-date and comprehensive sustainability knowledge.

In addition to business, environmental, logistics and energy aspects, companies now also have to ensure the establishment of sustainable economic operations due to legal regulations. In addition, ESG, i.e. Environmental, Social, Governance regulation is becoming essential for some tenders and funding sources.

In addition to large companies, this norm also affects domestic SMEs, which, however, represents not only a challenge and new tasks, but also an opportunity for them. In fact, the incorporation of ESG aspects can bring several advantages: in addition to revealing environmental and social risks, planning and due diligence can also mean cost savings opportunities.

Regardless of the industry and company size, business models based on sustainable environmental, social and economic factors are successful if the company can rely on qualified managers and employees in their development and implementation. And this is only possible if the new obligations are carried out by employees who have up-to-date knowledge of sustainability and who combine and see through the various processes to the best of their ability.
