Sustainability in entrepreneurship means integrating environmental and social responsibility into core business strategy—not as an add-on, but as a competitive advantage. This hands-on program shows founders and leaders how to design circular, low-carbon, people-centric ventures; measure impact; align with standards; de-risk operations; and model long-term financial value. You’ll turn your idea (or existing business) into a sustainability-ready venture with clear KPIs, a carbon reduction plan, and investor-grade documentation.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Design a sustainable value proposition using the Sustainable Business Model Canvas and circular economy loops (reduce, reuse, refurbish, recycle).
Run a materiality assessment to identify priority ESG issues for your sector and stakeholders.
Baseline your footprint with a simple Scopes 1–3 estimate and create a practical reduction roadmap (energy, transport, waste, supply chain).
Build an impact thesis & KPIs (logic model / theory of change) and set targets tied to SDGs.
Model the economics of sustainability initiatives (NPV, payback, IRR) and integrate carbon/ESG scenarios in your financial plan.
Map ESG risks & governance (policies, code of conduct, supplier standards, whistleblowing, H&S).
Plan responsible supply chains (supplier screening, traceability, fair labor, local sourcing).
Prepare investor-grade reporting aligned to widely used frameworks (GRI/ISSB, basics of TCFD).
Explore funding options: grants, impact investors, blended finance, incentives, and carbon/REC opportunities (where applicable).
Communicate credibly (avoid greenwashing): claims, disclosures, labels, and stakeholder engagement.
Deliverables: Sustainable Business Model Canvas, Materiality Matrix, Carbon & Waste Reduction Plan, ESG Policy Pack, Impact KPI Dashboard, and a 12-month Sustainability Action Plan.
