ESG is playing an increasingly prominent role in dialogue with customers, banks, insurance companies and partners. At the same time, many small and medium-sized enterprises find that ESG can seem overwhelming and that it is difficult to know where to begin. The reality is that most companies are already doing much of the right thing. The challenge is often to gain an overview, prioritise efforts and systematise the work.
At this workshop, Transition will help you translate ESG into concrete actions that make sense specifically for your business. Through short presentations, practical exercises and concrete tools, you will work with your own company and gain a strong foundation for your continued ESG work.
After lunch, there is the opportunity for individual mentoring with the advisors from Transition regarding precisely your company's challenges and opportunities.

STRENGTHEN YOUR SKILLS

Get small ideas with a big impact in your daily life.

Is it time for a change of strategy, perhaps the acquisition or sale of a business? Perhaps an employee or partner needs to become a co-owner. Perhaps a buyer is coming along. Or perhaps you simply want to create a stronger and less owner-dependent business. Common to all scenarios is that the best opportunities typically arise for the companies that have prepared well in advance.
