Introduction
Corporate Sustainability deals with strategies, activities, processes and structures that can help organizations sustain themselves as well as their people, natural resources and communities for the long run.
The negative impact created on the society and environment by industrial operations has resulted in increasing pressures from NGOs, civil society, and other stakeholders on corporations to adopt more sustainable and socially responsible practices in all their activities - right from sourcing to distribution, and to how the products and packaging is handled at the end of a use cycle. Corporate sustainability and responsibility have therefore become key concerns for the board members, shareholders as well as market regulators.
The course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Sustainability — Strategy, Energy, Environment, and Circularity
The objective of this two-day course is to provide learners with a basic understanding of the strategies, concepts and innovations required to make an organization more sustainable and socially responsible in its operations.
