New Forms of Sustainable Management - Due Diligence and Digitalization & AI Solutions

With the growing global integration of companies, their area of responsibility for the ecological, social, and human rights impacts associated with their activities are part of discussions in societies and politics. Transparency, traceability, and compliance with sustainability standards are requirements that investors, consumers, supervisory authorities, and environmental and human rights groups demand in the form of corporate due diligence reporting. For example, consumers and consumer associations are increasingly demanding information about the conditions under which goods are manufactured. Production conditions thus become part of the product quality.

This summer school course will address the following topics:

  • Sustainable management in the new era of transparency
  • Legislation on supply chain due diligence
  • Sustainable reporting and the requirements of different standards
  • Technological solutions to support due diligence processes (blockchain, platforms etc.)

The course includes one or two excursions.

Course is designed for: bachelor’s students in their third year, master’s students and graduates.

Fields of study: business, computer science, sustainable science
