Overview

Imagine piloting an accessible e-scooter service, optimising routes using travel-behaviour insights, and sourcing low-emission vehicles achieving higher adoption, lower costs, and stronger investor pitches. This is the type of impact learners can create through this pathway. 

Sustainability today goes beyond environmental goals. It means thinking across systems and disciplines, using accessibility, behavioural insights and sustainable procurement to create value across sectors. By integrating inclusive design, ESG principles, green mobility strategies and circular economy practices, organisations can build smarter, fairer and low carbon solutions. Startups, professionals and organisations that apply these sustainability focused approaches benefit people, communities and the planet while improving competitiveness, compliance and long term resilience. 

This pathway helps you to turn inclusion and sustainability into drivers of innovation and growth. You will learn to design equitable models, enhance ESG performance, and scale solutions that are fair, resilient, and investment-ready. 

Potential careers: Sustainability consultants, urban mobility planners, procurement specialists, ESG managers, and entrepreneurs developing inclusive, impact-driven solutions. Learners could design accessible mobility systems, guide sustainable procurement strategies, or lead cross-sector projects for fair and resilient urban systems. 

Pathway approach: Flexible and self-paced, it builds strategic and practical skills: start with accessibility as an innovation driver, then analyse travel behaviour for smarter, fairer design, and finish by embedding sustainability through green procurement and ESG practices. 

Business Case (Snapshot)
Embedding accessibility, behavioural insight, and green procurement into strategy can:

1. Reduce regulatory and market risk.
2. Expand reach to underserved users.
3. Boost investor and partner confidence.
4. Lower operational and environmental costs.

Illustrative example:
A mobility startup audits its service for accessibility (Course 1), redesigns routes using travel-behaviour insights (Course 2), and adopts sustainable materials and components (Course 3).
Result: A more inclusive service with higher adoption, reduced costs, stronger ESG performance, and a more competitive position in investor and tender processes.

Key skills you can develop through this pathway include: 

• Design inclusive solutions – apply accessibility and universal design to expand reach and impact. 
• Use behavioural insight – understand how people move, decide, and adopt sustainable practices. 
• Embed sustainability in operations – apply circular economy and ESG principles to procurement and supply chains. 
• Strengthen business credibility – align with EU sustainability standards and investor expectations. 
• Drive cross-sector impact – connect business, mobility, and policy for fair and scalable innovation.
