Controlling and sustainability – how do they fit together?

Frankfurt School Executive Education is expanding its programme with new courses on key topics of our time – sustainability and digital transformation.

Which role does controlling play the topic of corporate sustainability? The answer is clear: controllers must and will play a decisive, active role in pushing and monitoring sustainability in a comprehensive ESG sense. This requires new competences: The certificate programme Corporate Sustainability Controlling puts the required sustainability reporting in the context of strategy and operational implementation.

Professor Ronald Gleich, Professor of Management Practice & Control at Frankfurt School: “Sustainability is a megatrend and at the same time a sheer necessity for companies and represents an enormous challenge for corporate management. It requires diverse professional, methodological and social competences to initiate the transformation to a sustainable company.”

Transformation is also the central buzzword in digitalisation. Whether AI, blockchain or cybersecurity: Companies are facing rapid changes and new requirements, and this poses new challenges for managers. Digital transformation and the necessary competences are basic prerequisites for the success of a company. The new seminar series AI, Blockchain and Cybersecurity compact teaches managers the basics that are relevant for making decisions, setting priorities and making companies fit for the future.

In its Executive Education Ranking 2022, the Financial Times listed Frankfurt School among the top 50 providers worldwide. You can find the complete Frankfurt School Executive Education programme here.
