WWF EXECUTIVE ACADEMY

The offer

The trainings are tailored for entire groups within a company — for example executive management teams, senior leadership groups, boards of directors, C-suites or steering committees.

WWF will equip the group with the knowledge to future-proof their business. In a fast changing world companies will need to tackle the double crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss and implement transition plans.

The content

The WWF Executive Academy course is framed around three thematic areas critical to the planet: climate, biodiversity, and water.

By exploring the current situation and future sustainability scenarios for 2030 and 2050, WWF experts will help you identify your company’s role in these scenarios, with concrete methods such as back casting and interactive workshops.

Through various exercises, your company will explore how these perspectives can already start being integrated into the company’s business plans and business model. We work from the company’s current goals, linking both the economic perspective—what risks and opportunities this means for the business—and the existential perspective by uncovering personal motivations.

The goal is to connect your business with focus on the challenges and opportunties that lays ahead, and find concrete ways to future-proof your business in a fast changing world. Together we identify a path towards a more long-term competetive business model for your company.

Through lectures, case studies workshops and dialogues, you will gain insights into how nature and climate are interconnected – and how they affect business models, risks, and opportunities.

We offer two distinct formats to choose from; in nature 
& at the office

1. One option is a retreat-style program away from home, set in nature and wilderness, where your group can step away from daily routines and combine the work with powerful outdoor experiences. Nature becomes the space for our learning. The setting can range from a vast Arctic mountain landscapes with a cozy ski lodge and skiing, to a lush, biodiversity-rich island in the outer archipelago.
2. The other option takes place at your office or a nearby conference venue, making it easy to integrate into your existing setting.

Follow up session with reflections

Both formats include a follow-up session a few months later, where we review progress, reflect on learnings, and look ahead together.

Who is it for?

A company’s entire board, leadership team or management team, for example executive management teams, senior leadership groups, boards of directors, C-suites or steering committees.
