It explores how these policies create both requirements and opportunities for businesses. The course also examines the skills and competences needed for the green transition. In addition, it provides an introduction to the basics of sustainability reporting standards for large companies operating under the CSRD, as well as for other companies outside the scope of the directive that wish to respond to stakeholder demand (VSME). Finally, the course offers a gamified experience in the circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sustainability competence frameworks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active and structural competences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustainable business and systems thinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EU policies for sustainability in business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduction to CSRD &amp; VSME<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basics of circular economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For whom?<\/strong>&nbsp;TVET and up teachers interested in sustainability in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where?&nbsp;<\/strong>In Helsinki, Finland, and nearby environments.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By whom?<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sykli.fi\/sykli-creating-environmental-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SYKLI Environmental College<\/a>&nbsp;is a national specialist vocational college.
