Sustainability Leadership Initiative
Why Sustainability leadership initiative?
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the most successful of organizations to change their ways of working. Therefore, integrating sustainability in a way that braves the most unpredictable of situations is becoming more and more inevitable. Our modules hope to prepare aspiring leaders to think ahead and place sustainability at the core of their strategic goals. Thereby, build business entities that encourage both innovation and social responsibility.
Under the umbrella of Sustainability leadership initiative by NAI we have designed a leadership program focusing on sustainability for students and young professionals.
Our Sustainability Leadership Program acts as an enabler for students and young professionals develop into leaders who prioritize listening, responsivity, respect, and equality in their research and collaborations with government, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), private-sector organizations, and communities.
The program is designed to develop essential skills in multidisciplinary, cross-sector, and community collaboration across the Asian and the Nordic/European ecosystem.
