DYNM 674 - Sustainable Business:Can Profit,People & Planet All Be Served

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Nuessle. This course will examine the difficulties of operating a sustainable business in a culture that lives by codes of conduct, legislation and laws that do not foster sustainability. We will look at what is really happening behind the scenes and debate what it takes to move toward sustainability, the issues and boundaries that affect a company's actions, and the pitfalls to avoid when designing sustainability programs. Throughout the course, we will test long held assumptions about sustainability against the real possibilities and against what is actually working in the field. Course participants will take away a grounded understanding of the current state vs the desired state for a sustainable business environment and what actions will move us toward that more livable, more sustainable world.
