Online: BPW Workshop @BTU Cottbus | Sustainable Business Concept

How to incorporate sustainability into your business concept. The sustainability workshop outlines the process from vision to purpose to impact. Participants are guided through different methods to identify their sustainable aspects in the concept of their business idea and the impact. Firstly, the internal perspective is worked on to match the ‘why’ with the ‘what’ in terms of sustainable action, the actual impact. It serves to develop a logic model based on the business concept. It will also be discussed how to determine key figures on ‘soft sustainable facts’. Using the sustainability assessment of business start-ups from the DIN, participants will be able to think critically about the positive and negative impact of their business actions. The aim of the workshop is to precisely define the concise solutions for social and/or environmental impacts. This workshop takes place in cooperation with the BTU Cottbus – Senftenberg Startup Service.
