Learn about the business case for integrating environmental, social and economic sustainability into your business strategy, operations and planning. In this module, your team will gain a clear understanding of the key drivers of sustainable business practices and the building blocks needed to create a sustainable business strategy.
Uncover the stakeholders at the heart of your business strategy through the creation of stakeholder and materiality maps. In this module, your team will gain an understanding of how stakeholders inform, and can help you prioritize, the sustainability issues that matter most for your business success in the short, medium and long-term.
In this interactive module, you’ll learn how to map your organization’s value chain in order to identify how your products create sustainability benefits and where your greatest impacts lie. You’ll also uncover new opportunities for cost savings and revenue streams by applying circular business models.
Note: This module is best suited for companies that already have a comprehensive understanding of sustainable business, their stakeholders and the issues that are most material to their business.
Learn how to measure the environmental or social impact of your products and business using environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) or social return on investment (SROI) tools. In this module, your team will gain an understanding of these impact measurement approaches, their benefits and limitations, and the data collection process. You’ll receive the results of these assessments that you can then apply to planning, strategy and target setting and support your sustainability reporting. You’ll also learn how to set measurable targets along your value chain that advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Learn how to avoid greenwashing, the biggest pitfall in sustainability marketing and communication. In this module, your team will gain a better understanding of the do’s and don’ts of sustainability communication, how to authentically communicate your sustainability strategy, targets and progress, and leave with recommendations tailored to your industry.
