Key Summary
Introduction
Build Strategic Skills to Tackle Climate Change, CSR, and Global Sustainability
The Master in Sustainability Management at the Sustainability Management School (SUMAS) is designed for students and professionals who want to lead systemic change in business, policy, and environmental practice. Drawing from key areas such as corporate social responsibility (CSR), climate change, and sustainability studies, this program equips graduates with the critical tools and leadership mindset needed to create lasting value for people, planet, and profit.
With global urgency around climate resilience, social impact, and transparent governance, the role of sustainability managers has become increasingly vital. This master’s program prepares you to influence how companies operate, how policies are shaped, and how innovation can accelerate a just and regenerative economy.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Corporate Responsibility and Environmental Strategy
At the core of the program is the integration of corporate social responsibility, where students learn how to embed sustainability into business strategy, stakeholder engagement, supply chain management, and reporting frameworks such as ESG and GRI. Alongside CSR, the program dives into climate change science and policy, providing students with the knowledge to evaluate environmental risks, carbon metrics, and climate adaptation strategies.
The program’s foundation in sustainability studies ensures a comprehensive understanding of sustainable development goals (SDGs), systems thinking, circular economy models, and ethical leadership. Students are trained to develop strategies that go beyond compliance—creating measurable, mission-driven impact at every organizational level.
Learn Directly from Real Companies Driving Sustainable Innovation
One of the defining features of this program is its applied learning focus. Students participate in case studies with real companies in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable fashion, finance, and circular product design. These hands-on experiences allow students to analyze sustainability challenges and co-develop actionable solutions with real-world stakeholders.
In addition to project work, students benefit from guest lectures, workshops, and professional mentoring from sustainability executives, climate policy advisors, and CSR consultants.
Shape Your Career in Sustainability Leadership
The Master in Sustainability Management is ideal for those pursuing careers in CSR, climate policy, sustainability consulting, environmental management, or social entrepreneurship. Whether your goal is to transform corporate strategy, lead nonprofit initiatives, or influence international climate negotiations, this program will give you the strategic, environmental, and leadership capabilities to make a lasting impact.
Graduates leave with a systems-level understanding of sustainability—and the ability to lead responsibly in business, government, and global organizations.
