Business & management for the Green Transition

The climate crisis is one of the biggest threats we face. To meet this challenge, the European Union is working on a “Clean Industrial Deal” as part of the European Green Deal. The aim? A 90% cut in emissions by 2040 and a modern, resource-efficient economy that creates jobs and supports businesses. Plans include:

This initiative backs the Clean Industrial Deal by promoting green business practices and supporting eco-friendly entrepreneurship with research-driven models.

Green business in tourism and logistics

We’re developing new ways for these industries to reduce their environmental footprint while staying economically viable and socially responsible. By working with universities, businesses, and governments, we’re creating solutions for sustainable travel, greener supply chains, and less waste.

Local governments in the green transition

We help local authorities adopt cleaner technologies and policies. From improving energy efficiency to managing resources better, these efforts aim to make communities more sustainable.
