Vibeke Tuxen (VTuxen)
The course has laid the ground for me to start as an independent sustainable business consultant. What I liked the most about the course was it’s holistic approach to sustainability - from CSR analyses and strategies, to partnerships and communication. This way I am able to adjust my consulting approach individually to each client.

The Social Business Club is an inspirational network forum for professionals from around the world with an interest in innovative and sustainable practices that create value for society and the bottom line – from CSR and circular economy to social innovation and shared value. 

The Club was founded by Tania Ellis in 2011 with the purpose of inspiring and helping connect the international community of sustainability professionals across sectors, industries, professions and nationalities. So they can do good and well even better.
