Week 6 Overview and Learning Objectives

In the first five weeks, we explored what sustainability is, how it is relevant to business and the role of organizational values and structures.. From weeks 6 until 13, we turn to different frameworks that companies can use as implementation tools both within the firm, and in its relationship with stakeholders. This week, we will explore several different frameworks that businesses use to create a business model that is sustainable from an economic, environmental and social perspective.
