Tanguy on the CAS Leading Sustainability Transformation

“This CAS gave me a new perspective on how sustainability must become a core part of how we do business – across all dimensions. The inspiring exchange with professors, tutors, & peers made it a transformative experience that went far beyond theory.”
Peter van der Touw
Senior Strategic Advisor
van Irama GmbH
“As I worked through my business challenge, many concepts from the CAS came together, e.g. personal effectiveness, the IDGs, etc. It was through this reflection that the purpose and practical application of these ideas truly resonated.”
