The international company context supports a global mindset by strengthening analytical skills in cross-border business environments. The course connects to sustainability and social impact through the evaluation of corporate sustainability strategies and their financial implications, with strongest alignment to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
