Due to the implementation of the European Union's Green Deal, there is a growing need in the labor market for sustainability managers who would help companies integrate more environmentally friendly business practices, help create sustainable products, prepare sustainability reports and ensure that the company complies with environmental legislation.

Business sustainability, sustainable business development and harmony with the environment around us should be the most important goal of every leader. It is especially important that young people who are just entering the labor market have the deepest possible knowledge about the circular economy and the impact that business decisions can have on the environment around us.
