Webinar: Sustainability as a business opportunity

Many organisations still see sustainability as a regulatory challenge or an additional cost. Yet some of the world's most successful companies are proving the opposite: sustainability can drive innovation, strengthen customer relationships, and create long-term business value.

In this webinar, hosted by the Online Master in Sustainability Management, guest speaker Bas Fransen will share the entrepreneurial journey behind EcoMatcher and explain how sustainability can become a competitive advantage rather than a business trade-off.

Through real-world examples and insights from building a global impact-driven business, you'll discover how technology, transparency and purpose can work together to create both environmental and commercial success.

• Gain insights from a successful entrepreneur and business leader
• Discover practical examples of innovation-driven impact
• Learn how sustainability can create business value
• Understand how technology can increase transparency and engagement

This webinar is open to all, simply register to attend.
