Kursusindhold
This course focuses on sustainability strategy and value creation. We unpack sustainability goal setting and road mapping, the key strategic drivers behind sustainability such as net-zero targets and circular economy and examine how they impact value chains. Assessing risk and resilience are key to evaluating system level impact and change, and this course provides the tools for that. Apart from the strategic tools, we focus on incentive alignment and motivating behavioral change, both internally and externally. We practice identifying, mapping, and engaging with stakeholders in order to ensure legitimacy and longevity for the outlined sustainability strategy. We also examine the role of boards in goal setting. Finally, we dive into moral leadership, and examine how leaders can avoid mission drift, and balance economic pressures with sustainability and societal impact.
