Introduction
More and more organizations want to create societal value alongside economic value, for example in the areas of nature and the environment, well-being and quality of life, and social cohesion. The question is: how can you do this in a way that is both meaningful to society and healthy for your organization?
In the Sustainability Leadership Program, you gain the knowledge and skills to develop sustainable strategies that fit your organization. You learn how, as a leader, you can give direction to change, how to set up new partnerships, and how to make your societal impact visible.
The Sustainability Leadership Program is a collaboration between TIAS and Future Up, the largest business network in the field of sustainability.

Why this program

About this program
In the Sustainability Leadership Program, you work with solid academic frameworks in a strongly practice-oriented learning environment. Through lectures, discussions, and assignments, you deepen your view on sustainability, strategy, and leadership. The reality of your own organization is central throughout, and you learn intensively together with other experienced professionals.
Your sustainability challenge as guiding theme
At the start of the program, you describe your organization’s sustainability challenge. This case then forms the guiding thread during all program days. You work on it in the form of a learning log, in which you record new insights, analyses, and decisions. By adding to your learning log after each day, you will have a coherent and well-founded plan at the end of the program to advance your organization’s sustainability agenda.
Six program days and two peer learning sessions
The program consists of six content-driven program days and two peer learning sessions in smaller groups. The peer sessions take place after the first and after the fifth program day. In these sessions, you discuss current issues from your daily practice, bring in challenging situations, and reflect on the challenges of other participants. You learn from each other’s context and perspectives and sharpen your own approach.
By combining in-depth program days with peer learning sessions, you continuously connect what you learn to the strategic choices and changes in your own organization.
