Business sustainability is the process by which organisations manage their triple bottom line, namely financial, social and environmental risks, obligations and opportunities. As governments, investors and consumers increasingly expect organisations to adopt sustainable business practices, more organisations are incorporating Sustainable Development Goals into their business models globally.
This module seeks to introduce students to the concept of business sustainability and its impact on profits and operational performance. Students will learn to explain sustainability goals and reporting frameworks and apply them to incorporate sustainability into an organisation’s business models and practices.
In addition, students will learn to identify an organisation’s key stakeholders and develop a stakeholder engagement plan to include their concerns in sustainability implementation.
