Course overview
By attending this training workshop, you will consider the “people dimension” of sustainability. This includes the staff, customers, suppliers and communities that the organisation is involved with and who benefit or suffer from its business practices. The workshop also examines sustainability within supply chains from a materials management perspective. Sustainability reporting is now an important way for companies to demonstrate transparently that they are taking non-financial measures into account when pursuing their business strategies. And we will apply the principles of risk management to corporate behaviour which could be seen as irresponsible.
