Sustainability, Circular Economy and ESG

The Sustainability, Circular Economy and ESG course from Universidad Europea is aimed at people with an interest in sustainable business management, the social and environmental impact that organisations have and how they handle environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.

The Sustainability, Circular Economy and ESG course is offered by Universidad Europea .

ESG criteria are becoming increasingly important for investors and, as a result, for company managers and executives. These criteria focus on three factors:

• Environmental: the impact of the business’ activity on the environment and what it does to mitigate it.

• Social: the impact that the company has on its local community.

• Governance: corporate governance within the company.

Employability

• Labour market

The circular economy will generate 24 million jobs in 2030 globally, according to the International Labour Organization. Its report ‘Impacts of circular economy policies on the labour market’ estimates that by 2030, the annual growth of employment related to circular economy will be 0.3%, amounting to around 700,000 new jobs.

• Profile in high demand

In the coming years, companies will need more professionals who are trained in this area, as EU legislation is expanding on its ESG transparency requirements, while the number of companies that have the obligation to provide ESG information is increasing. This transparency will mean that consumers will be made aware of the environmental and social impacts of companies, compelling them to include ESG factors in their strategies and day-to-day management.
