Transformative Sustainability

At a time in which major environmental and social challenges have become central for any type of business, Bocconi University and Politecnico di Milano have each leveraged their own unique areas of expertise to design a joint degree with an integrated and innovative perspective on sustainability.

This cutting-edge program combines fields of a technical nature (technologies for the environment, energy, mobility and circularity) with the fields in the social sciences (management, economics and quantitative and legal disciplines) that are needed to manage “just sustainable transition” within organizations.

The MSc in Transformative Sustainability is an internationally-oriented program that aims to provide students with the knowledge and the tools needed for:

• transitioning companies toward a sustainable business and management approach, through the innovation of products, processes, systems and business models supported by technological advancements
• understanding the influence of ESG criteria on governance, management and financial and investment decisions.

In this transformation, technologies are a fundamental enabling factor: technology must be guided by an innovation process that starts from a vision and objectives and takes into account all the variables that characterize the business model and processes of companies.

The program aims to combine the capability of strategic vision on sustainability – the why – with expertise in enabling science and technologies and processes – the what – through mediation of innovation and design methodologies – the how. In this way, the whole innovation path within sustainability is addressed from strategic planning to execution.
