Programme in Corporate Sustainability Management
This is the only regional education programme adapted to both global sustainability standards and the specific context of the Western Balkans. It was jointly developed by Sustineri Partners and the AIRE Center, in cooperation with academic institutions (FEFA Faculty - Metropolitan University of Belgrade, Faculty of Economics - University of Rijeka, University of Tirana) and numerous regional and international institutions and experts, including the Association of Serbian Banks.
The cooperation of ASB's experts and Sustineri Partners in the field of sustainable financing with the aim of creating an education program with a regional approach was created earlier in the framework of a series of educational workshops of Training Trainers for the field of ESG and sustainable financing, held in several cycles during 2023-2024, under the auspices of the IFC, to strengthen the capacity for the implementation of ESG policies and sustainable financing of the training centers of the partner institutions of the IFC in the region. Having awareness and insight into the identified needs for professional development in this area among employees in the banking sector of Serbia, and with the aim of further transfer of knowledge and expertise, the ASB supported the launch of this education programme with a regional approach from the very beginning and provided an expert contribution to its design. The ASB is thus the official Knowledge Partner on this specialist program with expert input in the implementation of this programme, as part of the team of experts, lecturers and facilitators.
