NBAY 6031
Strategies for Sustainability

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

The world has become increasingly focused on transitioning to a more sustainable future and that presents opportunities for business leaders. This course will explore "ESG" and "sustainability" and build the case for them as a business imperative. It has been designed for students pursuing careers in technology with the conviction that command of this material will lead to better outcomes on the job. Following a series of foundation-setting sessions, we'll leverage case studies and guest lecturers to learn about: (1) "Innovators" focused on sustainability as a value proposition and core commitment; (2) "Investors" seeking outsized financial returns by supporting sustainability-related businesses; and (3) "Incumbents" working to adjust their business models to capitalize on growing interest in sustainability. By the end of the course, students will be able to explain how environmental and social topics create opportunities and risks and how companies and investors can make sustainability a growth driver.

When Offered Spring.
