Learner goals and capabilities

Sustainability, along with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has become a strategic issue for most businesses. It allows companies to pursue their own economic goals along with promoting environmental stewardship and maintaining goodwill with their customers, communities, and other stakeholders.

The common goal of this project is to realize sustainability goals for the respective businesses. This could be done in a myriad of ways: a marketing campaign, public relations, a CSR analysis, educational materials, or anything else related to sustainability.

In this project, students working in teams will apply their creativity, interdisciplinary acumen, and training in applied ethics and business ecology to meet your company’s needs.
