About Programme

Gain a competitive edge with a practical guide to creating a sustainability strategy.

Environmental and social well-being concerns have gained progressively larger stakes in mainstream business practices around the world. The evolving needs of consumers, investors, regulators, and society means that prioritizing sustainability is no longer an option for organizations — it’s a business imperative.

The Corporate Sustainability Management: Risk, Profit, and Purpose online program equips leaders with the skills and knowledge to implement a sustainability strategy that not only addresses modern challenges but also benefits the bottom line. Join a network of like-minded professionals online as you discover practical tools and frameworks for driving and implementing a sustainability action plan in your organization.

The program draws on the expertise of Dr. Todd Cort as it explores the most important elements of building a purpose-driven corporate strategy, as well as the risks and opportunities sustainability presents for your business. Over six weeks, you’ll investigate real-world case studies and gain valuable insights from industry experts as you create a road map for integrating sustainability into your business’s future.
