About this Module: Core Principles of Sustainability

Sustainability, existing without depleting natural resources for the future, interacting on a high ethical level with employees, and ensuring that your business is run with the best interest of all stakeholders in mind, have become a defining aspect of today's business operations. To mitigate sustainability challenges such as climate change, resource conservation, and sustainable resource management, among others, increased awareness and sustainability knowledge are needed to find solutions and implement the changes needed to transition to the best sustainable business practices.

In Module 1 Core Principles of Sustainability, we will start with a recourse on the history of sustainability, and we will be looking closer into the current global sustainability discussion. We will explore the development of sustainability goals on a global scale and the role of national governments for adopting and implementing national strategies for sustainable development.

From global guidelines to national policies and local solutions, we will introduce a pragmatic direct approach to integrate sustainability guidelines and sustainability requirements into your business and prepare your business for the future.
