University of Edinburgh Business School - Executive Education Masterclass

The Sustainable Business Initiative at the University of Edinburgh Business School is soon to be delivering a Masterclass on Sustainability Strategy, Leadership and Management. The Masterclass is aimed at members of public, private and non-profit organisations who are interested in understanding sustainability to ensure their organisations are positioned to tackle the challenges of sustainability.

Course Description

The drive for sustainable development and corporate sustainability is reshaping the economic landscape, attracting regulatory attention, and creating new business opportunities.

Globally, organisations are faced with ever increasing expectations in meeting the world’s environmental and social challenges. They are also expected to balance many, sometimes conflicting, demands and pressures across different stakeholder groups. Developing a sustainable strategy requires robust decision making to balance economic, environmental and social consideration.

This masterclass will show participants how to integrate sustainability into their organisations and create responsible business practices across cultures and borders. It will feature a mix of interactive discussions, guest lectures, practical exercises and site visits to sustainable businesses.

Who should attend?

Members of public, private and non-profit organisations who are interested in understanding sustainability to ensure their organisations are positioned to tackle the challenges of sustainability.
