ORG 7078 - Sustainability Management: Present Practices


Many organizations have embarked on a sustainability initiative, or want to, but what exactly does that mean? How should they go about this, what do they do, and how to they assess the results? This course explores current sustainability programs and practices and the stakeholder perspectives in organizations. It presents models, challenges, opportunities and practices for managing sustainability inside corporate and non-profit organizations, including the Natural Step, the product life cycle, accountability and reporting frameworks, and scores of case examples. It ends by exploring the nature of leadership to refocus an organization on sustainability. 3 credit(s)
