Integrating sustainability into business strategy requires technical expertise, as well as leadership, influencing and change management skills. This is why the latest edition of the Professione Sostenibilità Executive Course introduces the Sustainability Leadership Program.
Comprising the IMPACT Talks and the Sustainability Leadership Circle, the program is designed to strengthen participants’ managerial capabilities through dialogue with experienced professionals and structured peer exchange.
IMPACT Talks: conversations with change leaders
The IMPACT Talks consist of three in-person sessions held at key stages of the course. Informal and highly participatory, they give participants the opportunity to engage with professionals leading ESG transformation in a wide range of settings, from SMEs and large corporations to complex international environments.
Rather than conventional guest lectures or corporate presentations, the sessions focus on open discussions of real-world experiences, practical approaches, challenges and decision-making dilemmas. Participants can learn through direct dialogue, exchange ideas and expand their professional networks.
Sustainability Leadership Circle: a space for guided reflection
The Sustainability Leadership Circle is an optional mentoring and peer-learning track organized in small groups. Across three online sessions, senior mentors from the ALTIS network guide participants as they reflect on their professional challenges.
Topics include engaging senior leadership, managing change, building consensus, stakeholder engagement and integrating sustainability into corporate strategy. Mentors act not as lecturers or consultants, but as experienced facilitators who encourage discussion and share lessons from their own successes, setbacks and professional experience.
Through the Sustainability Leadership Program, Professione Sostenibilità complements its specialized training with structured opportunities to develop the interpersonal and managerial skills required to become effective agents of change within organizations.
