Want to find out more?

In this programme I will:

Acknowledge how sustainability megatrends can affect businesses in general and my business in particular.
Understand the challenges of the Paris Agreement.
Understand the challenges of the Action Plan for Circular Economy in Portugal.
Diagnosing business and innovation opportunities arising from the 2030 Agenda outlined by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Outline measures to better meet the customers' requirements regarding environmental and social practices, human rights, the fight against corruption and gender equality.
Identify new management trends by purpose.
Strengthen personal resilience, personal development and emotional intelligence skills.
Understand the basic principles of brain functioning and the importance of emotions in the corporate decision-making process.

Management in the 21st century will be a lot different from what it used to be: it will have more respect for the environment, be more humanistic and investors will place a lot more value on environmental, social and ethical issues, such as risk factors and competitiveness.
According to the Paris Agreement, more than 170 countries undertook to be carbon neutral by the end of the 21st century; Portugal aims at achieving that goal by 2050.
With the Sustainable Development Goals, companies are challenged to create products and services that can actively contribute to these goals.
The latest Edelman Barometer says that society wants companies to be agents of change, and CEOs to be emotionally intelligent and capable of solving a wide variety of social problems and act for a purpose greater than mere profit. In this context, it is crucial to develop skills associated with human resilience, personal development, awareness and emotion that are capable of turning managers into leaders for the future.
