‘Intelligence consists not only in knowledge, but also in the ability to apply knowledge. Quote from Aristotle, Greek philosopher (384 BC - 322 BC). HSBA Hamburg's ‘Human Rights Manager’ course helped me to understand instruments such as ESG, CSR, LkSG etc. in a very sustainable way, especially in the context of practical applicability. Excellent!

The course combines practice and theory in a balanced way and also takes into account the important, often overlooked details of current case law. The lecturers pass on their specialist knowledge in a targeted manner and thus help to sustainably optimise the processes in your own company.
