Internal audits are a central element of the ZNU Standard: they help identify weaknesses in the sustainability management system at an early stage, and strengthen the cross-departmental cohesion needed to collectively advance a company’s sustainability performance. To achieve this, knowledge of the ZNU Standard’s requirements is essential, along with an understanding of how improvement potentials can be identified and documented. Our training course for internal auditors at the University of Witten/Herdecke addresses exactly this.
