The increasing impact of climate change and the associated social and environmental challenges require a rethink in business and society. Companies are faced with the task of making their business models more sustainable and at the same time successfully mastering the digital transformation. Digitalisation offers enormous potential for achieving sustainability goals, but also harbours risks that need to be carefully considered. A well-founded examination of the interactions between sustainability and digitalisation is therefore essential.

The course "Nachhaltige Digitalisierung" provides students with basic knowledge in the areas of sustainability and digitalisation. Key topics include the drivers of sustainable development, the opportunities of digitalisation for greater sustainability and the risks associated with digital technologies. Students learn how digital solutions can be used in a targeted manner to overcome environmental and social challenges and how sustainability aspects can be integrated into digital transformation programmes.
