Overview
This course will help senior executives and board members explore and understand their role in embedding sustainability at every level of an organisation.

On this course, you will explore how the drive towards more sustainable business practices provides a fresh perspective, examine the human and cultural elements of workplaces and identify critical issues using real situations and decisions faced by boards and executive teams.
