Sustainability has become a strategic business imperative due to changing global perspectives. Sustainable strategies have been proven to increase efficiency by reducing costs and maximising operating profits, in addition to accelerating competitive advantage.
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the future and expect organisations to be more sustainable and engaged. They recognise that their financial choices can become a catalyst for change.
The United Nation’s Business for 2030 initiative is re-framing sustainable development and corporate sustainability aligned to the Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), paving the way for businesses to demonstrate the central role they can play in both sustainable development and human prosperity. This means that businesses need to act beyond economic profits to implement sustainable business strategies to invest in innovation and long-term growth, while also considering their impact on people and the planet. Leaders should possess the right knowledge to evaluate and implement sustainable strategies for a value-driven approach in this circular economy.
In the online Sustainability Strategies and Green Economy Programme offered by Singapore Management University Lee Kong Chian School of Business, you will build capacity to integrate sustainable business strategies to transform your corporate values and build consumer loyalty that transcends traditional marketing approaches, while sustaining the planet and the needs of future generations. You will focus on the Circular Economy and learn sustainable solutions that will enable you to understand how reducing, reusing, and regenerating materials can lead to economic growth and a better society.
Emerge as a professional who understands the importance of sustainable operations and pioneer sustainable strategies in your organisation to improve business performance and mitigate carbon footprint.
