Program Description
Program Overview
The Diploma in Advanced Sustainability (DAS) program has been created in 2011 and has been jointly directed by Thomas Dyllick and Katrin Muff ever since. Both are confirmed thought leaders in the space of business sustainability and responsibility and how to develop powerful educational spaces for creating change agents able to create and transform organizations to enhance their positive impact for the world. They have founded the Institute for Business Sustainability.
The Diploma in Advanced Sustainability enables participants to comprehend and respond to global challenges from the perspective of business as a force for good.
The 10-months, part-time executive program includes subject knowledge in the field of sustainable business, leading change and project management experience. The program is endorsed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and by the U.N. Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein. Participants who have successfully completed the program are awarded a Diploma (DAS) in Advanced Sustainability by the independent Institute for Business Sustainability, which is endorsed by the Mission Possible Foundation.
