Overview
Group and non-profit/public sector tuition discounts are now available! Please inquire for more details.
Today’s leaders face one certainty: they are operating in an environment of uncertainty. Consumption is increasing. Resources are dwindling. Delivering stakeholder value is an imperative, but so is factoring in the global challenges we collectively face. Every decision has the potential to enhance – or compromise – the well-being and security of future generations.
That’s why Stanford recognizes sustainability as an essential component of effective leadership in the 21st century.
It is also why Stanford is launching a new executive program based on the highly successful weeklong program for the World Economic Forum, Leadership for Sustainability. In this 2.5-day program, you’ll learn the core mindsets, knowledge and skills leaders need to promote sustainability and resilience in today’s complex environment.
Learn How To
- Navigate Complexity: Understand and learn strategies for identifying both risks and opportunities in today’s global environment.
- Shift Perspectives: Evolve decision-making processes to include financial, social and environmental considerations.
- Initiate Positive Change: Learn how transformation happens through incremental efforts and creative partnerships.
Return to your organization ready to:

- Implement concrete strategies to drive change within your organization
- Align teams around sustainability goals

Who Should Enroll
