Future-Orient Your Sustainability Strategy
Understand emerging trends and new taxonomies to stay impactful and competitive
A practical and strategic journey to understand how sustainability is being reshaped by current political, economic, and regulatory shifts — and how new sustainability languages and taxonomies are redefining value creation beyond ESG compliance.
This course supports organisations, investors, and leadership teams in reading the present moment clearly and positioning themselves ahead of the curve, turning uncertainty into informed strategy, resilient decision-making, and long-term impact.
Participants work with real-world signals, evidence, and frameworks to connect macro-level shifts with concrete implications for investment choices, organisational strategy, and sustainability action.
What this course is about
Sustainability is entering a new phase.
The political and economic shifts of 2024–25 — in both the US and the EU — have profoundly altered the sustainability landscape:
reporting obligations are being delayed, softened, or reconfigured
ESG is increasingly contested, politicised, or instrumentalised
competitiveness, industrial policy, and resilience are moving centre stage
At the same time, new taxonomies of sustainability are emerging — beyond compliance and disclosure — connecting economic performance with regeneration, wellbeing, social cohesion, and long-term system resilience.
Navigate Emerging Sustainability Landscapes, from political-economic shifts to new taxonomies of long-term value
This course helps participants:
Make sense of what is changing, why, and with what consequences
Distinguish short-term noise from long-term structural shifts
Understand which sustainability approaches are losing relevance — and which are quietly becoming decisive
Translate emerging frameworks into strategic insight and actionable direction
Tailored to your organisation.
All the Modules are offered both as online classes, in person or hybrid. Each Module can also be adopted on its own. Sessions, content and timing are planned to fit your organisation’s context and priorities.
For critical roles within the team, we also offer individual coaching or mentoring, as an add-on, to support decision-making, leadership, and role-specific transformation.
Each format includes facilitation, collaborative work, and the strategic synthesis documents.
You will not work on simulations or abstract cases.
You will work on your challenge, in your context, with your constraints.
How the Lab unfolds
-
The European take: trends and factors after recent political and economic shifts
This module explores how recent political realignments in the US and EU are reshaping sustainability priorities, regulatory frameworks, and investment landscapes — with a specific focus on Europe’s evolving positioning.
Participants will:
Understand the key political shifts following the 2024 elections in the US and EU and their economic policy implications
Analyse impacts on global markets, trade dynamics, inflation, interest rates, and ESG investment strategies
Examine the diverging trajectories of the US and EU sustainability ecosystems (regulation, disclosure, capital allocation)
Identify emerging risks and opportunities in sustainability-focused assets under new political-economic regimes
Reframe sustainability from a risk-mitigation lens to a resilience, competitiveness, and opportunity lens
Outcome:
Participants gain a shared, grounded understanding of the current sustainability landscape — enabling more informed strategic conversations, investment decisions, and organisational positioning in times of uncertainty. -
From ESG compliance to regenerative and systemic value creation
This module focuses on the new languages, frameworks, and taxonomies that are reshaping how sustainability is understood, measured, and acted upon — within and beyond EU-centric models.
Participants will:
Explore emerging sustainability frameworks that go beyond traditional ESG, integrating environmental, social, economic, and wellbeing dimensions
Understand how new domains (community, land, individuals, local and global systems) are being connected into more coherent sustainability models
Examine the role of inner dimensions — leadership mindsets, values, cultural narratives — in enabling outer systemic transformation
Review concrete tools, metrics, and case studies illustrating regenerative and long-term impact
Critically reflect on how these new taxonomies affect investment strategies, organisational priorities, and governance choices
Outcome:
Participants develop the ability to read, interpret, and use emerging sustainability languages strategically — strengthening confidence, coherence, and impact in sustainability-related decisions and actions.
Why this is a cost and quality effective approach:
High strategic return on limited executive time: concentrated, decision-relevant insights delivered in a focused format designed for senior leaders, managers and their teams. Concentrated expert input and structured facilitation ensure high-value learning in a focused format, minimising disruption while maximising insight.
Learning directly linked to current priorities: participants apply frameworks and tools to real organisational or portfolio challenges, ensuring immediate relevance and usable outcomes.
Direct link to competitiveness and long-term value: discussions and frameworks are immediately connected to investment priorities, governance choices, and strategic positioning. Turning learning time into strategic progress.
Scalable and adaptable delivery: designed to work effectively in-person or online, enabling cross-regional participation and reducing travel, coordination, and opportunity costs.
Who this is for:
Leadership teams navigating sustainability under uncertainty
Investment and portfolio managers
Sustainability, strategy, and transformation leads
Organisations seeking to move beyond ESG checklists toward long-term value creation
How this is different from training or consulting:
This is not a training about ESG compliance.
And it is not a consulting exercise done for you.
It is a guided working process, where your people build a shared understanding of the challenge.
Not generic training → your real problem
Not traditional consulting → your people do the work
Not a strategy offsite → systemic depth and accountability
This course builds internal capability while delivering immediate value.
