With his commercial sense, Frank Buchmann has always had an eye for new business opportunities and efficient solutions that create value for customers.

“With the current developments, it was important for me to find a programme that could provide both a professional language along with concrete knowledge and tools, so I can develop and sell new business concepts at Greenway Logistics.

“The course has made me feel much more equipped to incorporate sustainability into my job description—both strategically and operationally. A big plus is that I’ve also gained access to a relevant network of skilled professionals with whom I can collaborate.

With participants from many different industries, it’s become clear that anyone can work with CSR. The written case exam forces you to apply the theory and develop a 360-degree strategy. Additionally, the oral presentation can be used for internal presentations.”

“I took the course to tailor my profile towards a sustainable job. It has helped me put words and knowledge to my interest and passion for sustainability.

I’ve gained a practical toolkit that I look forward to using in my next job. In fact, the programme has inspired me to create my own ‘CSR career framework.’ The participants, representing many different approaches to CSR, have been fantastic—both socially and professionally. Every time, I’ve gone home more inspired, knowledgeable, and happy.”

“The programme will enhance my ability to communicate with, not just to, a broad organization, and to develop projects in collaboration.

I highly appreciate the tools, in particular, and I know I am well-equipped for the entire process going forward. Additionally, we had some fantastic discussions because we were participants from many different backgrounds and areas of expertise.”
