Burgo partner del Master in Environmental Sustainability & Circular Economy
Sustainability is an increasingly paramount issue for every type of organization: companies are called upon to correctly manage energy and product flows throughout their life cycle, also according to the principles of the circular economy.
Sustainability and circular economy are consolidated topics of great importance for Burgo Group. With this in mind and with an eye toward the future, in 2021 Burgo Group entered into a partnership with the POLIMI Graduate School of Management to support the International Master in Environmental Sustainability & Circular Economy.
The 12-month program takes place at the Graduate School of Management of the Politecnico di Milano and is entirely in English. Its main objective is to provide the skills necessary for a managerial career in the field of sustainability, with a particular focus on energy management and circular economy.
Combining the innovative teaching methods that distinguish the business school with a smart learning and project-based approach, the Master makes extensive use of real case studies.
The course of study requires the completion of project work on a topic relevant to environmental sustainability and the circular economy. In the academic year 2021-2022, the HSE Director of Burgo Group, Valerio Forti, was the tutor of one of the students: the project work concerned the CO2 emissions of Scope 3.
Burgo Group believes that measuring emissions precisely is the starting point for developing an effective climate strategy. It is essential to identify the emission sources to intervene promptly in the company’s impact reduction and to provide credibility to the emissions compensation phase.
The project presentation was delivered on 29 September, at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year.
The current and future course years of the International Master in Environmental Sustainability and Circular Economy of the POLIMI Graduate School of Management continue to pursue the goal of training new generations of sustainable development managers, preparing students to manage the challenges related to the circular economy.
