Applications Open - Leading Change for a Sustainable Chemical Industry 2012

Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) and The Natural Step (TNS) are once again running a unique 10-month customized industry course for business leaders and working professionals in the chemical sector and related value chains.

Commencing April 2012 and now entering its third year, the Leading Change for a Sustainable Chemical Industry course combines theory with implementation of projects in the participating organizations or with customers and suppliers. The schedule and course content is specifically designed for professionals working in the industry to apply sustainability concepts in their day to day work.

Past participants have come from a range of leading companies in various parts of the chemical sector such as Beckers, Dow, Omya, Chemson, BASF, Hydro Polymers, Akzo Nobel, Tarkett and Baerlocher. In the 2012 course we will be seeking to encourage participation and collaboration from companies tackling sustainability at various positions in a value chain.

Schedule:  The next course will run from April to December 2012. Course participants should allow 8-10 days for webinars with experts and three industry workshops in Europe, plus time for project work with coaching from a Sustainability Advisor.
