Through expert insights and practical learning, you will develop the skills and knowledge to implement an effective sustainability strategy, so that you can shape your organisation’s response to the global climate crisis.
Make your organisation more sustainable
We all know that sustainability is a critical challenge that can’t be ignored. But where do you start with building a sustainability strategy in your organisation? And when you do have a strategy in place, how can you effectively implement it?
This part-time, online course, will provide you with the necessary skills, concepts, and tools for tackling the key sustainability challenges that you and your organisation are facing. Through peer learning and insights from WBS experts, this course will provide you with the time and space to reflect on the issues and opportunities that your organisation needs to address, in order to become more sustainable. You will have instant access to the relevant frameworks for developing and implementing an effective sustainability strategy, with a focus on helping you transition your teams, organisation, and industry, to becoming more sustainable.
“Leading Sustainability Transitions is designed to address significant knowledge and skill gaps among leading executives, business, and other professionals regarding the role, impact and importance of addressing critical sustainability challenges. While there is a focus on the familiar environmental concerns, the course also focuses on how social issues are integral to necessary and innovative business decisions. In practice this can impact many crucial activities, for example, the role of the UN SDGs and the importance of sustainable supply chains, managing diversity, and developing purpose-led businesses.”
