Move beyond incremental change and unlock breakthrough strategies that drive sustainable business transformation for a thriving future
Copenhagen: 11 11 2025, 12:00 CET
We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Copenhagen Business School Executive Foundation – and the launch of our new ‘Sustainability Transformation Accelerator’ – a 3-day immersive training experience, developed for execs, senior managers and value chain partners.
Founded on the realization that net-zero and sustainability cannot be delivered in isolation – and the essential need to engage in collaborative innovation through the whole value chain – we bring together key representatives from specific value chains, away from their usual work environments, to engage, stimulate and facilitate new shared insights and capabilities towards accelerating on their net-zero, circular economy and broader sustainability challenges, towards an integrated model for competitive and sustainable enterprise.
A highly immersive participative experience – involving candid discussions, exploring new possibilities, engaging group exercises and live challenges, along with inspiring company site visits to reinforce your embodied learning experience. As such, the accelerator program provides a catalyst for harnessing ‘breakthrough moments’ – enabling participants to develop new mindsets and strategies, which they take back into their businesses and value chains, and deliver a real impact.
“True transformation requires more than compliance. It demands new mindsets and bold collaboration.”
Professor Andreas Rasche points the way ahead for business leaders: “True transformation requires more than compliance. It demands new mindsets and bold collaboration. We are thrilled to join forces to launch the ‘Sustainability Transformation Accelerator’ – a powerful collaboration between CBS Executive and Earthshine Group. Together, we are equipping leaders to move beyond incremental change and unlock breakthrough strategies that drive sustainable business transformation for a thriving future.”
Together, we bring the academic strengths of Europe’s leading business school for sustainability leadership, infused with Earthshine’s experience and insights from the leading-edge of sustainability and commercial transformations, over the last two decades:
- Move beyond incrementalism – find out how to develop radical leaps in your sustainability & business performance.
- Accelerate climate action & circular economy, while meeting commercial expectations.
- Develop your value chain engagement – collaborative dialogue to deliver shared solutions.
- Bring forward the “innovation gap” – harness circular solutions for major reductions in your emissions.
- Future-proof business models – manage risk & enhance long-term asset value – with shared risks and rewards.
- Harness commercial innovation to scale-up viable solutions and maximise impact.
- Challenge conventional thinking – navigate risks & barriers to change.
“We know how important it is to get key players in the same room, to explore new possibilities together, and to co-create new solutions that will work commercially, as well as technically and sustainably.”
Earthshine Group CEO, Mike Townsend, shares his enthusiasm for this ground-breaking collaboration: “We’re really buzzing about this new program. We know how important it is to get key players in the same room, to explore new possibilities together, and to co-create new solutions that will work commercially, as well as technically and sustainably. We’re delighted to be collaborating with CBS Executive at one of Europe’s leading business schools on sustainability leadership, in delivering this immersive program. We look forward to working with progressive players that wish to move beyond sustainability-as-usual, and develop genuinely transformational impacts.”
“Demonstrate how value truly comes from creating a dynamic and collaborative learning environment that will build your network for the long term.”
Chris Gale, Earthshine Group’s Innovation Leader, adds further emphasis on how this program stands out: “There are so many initiatives out there, but very few that really go deep on circularity, that bring together academic and business experience in this way, that get you out of the classroom and into touching and feeling what leaders are doing, and that demonstrate how value truly comes from creating a dynamic and collaborative learning environment that will build your network for the long term.”
Our first cohort will start in Spring 2026. Join as a leadership team, engage together with your value chain, or participate as an individual – we invite you to accelerate sustainable value creation in your organization and value chain. Certificates for successful completion will be awarded by CBS.
