Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the strategic business issue facing companies today. The unsustainability of our current industrial system is creating challenges and concerns about climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, poverty, human rights, increasing wealth disparity and globalization. This is both an imperative as well as an opportunity. Stakeholders from employees, consumers, suppliers, regulators, activists to investors are demanding and asking for environmentally socially responsible products, services and policies from corporations. The changing market requires companies to create value and innovate new markets, processes, products and services to address the ongoing challenges and do more with less resources. The entities that take the lead in proactively developing sustainable strategies, systems and talent are positioning themselves to survive in an emerging global market. Developing this leadership and capacity is an imperative for corporations today and this course enables students to understand the CSR fundamentals while developing critical thinking skills and tools to be part of the solution.
