Lead sustainable business practices and contemporary forms of value creation

Corporations are under increasing scrutiny for their contributions to society and the environment. Against this backdrop, a sustainable business strategy that considers its environmental impact is vital. There is increased demand for corporate sustainability leaders with the ability to shift the traditional methods of value creation towards the concept of the triple bottom line.

The Oxford Leading Sustainable Corporations Programme takes an executive-level perspective on business sustainability, looking beyond traditional views of measuring and reporting on performance, to integrate environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors into your business practice. With a focus on corporate sustainability leadership, this programme aims to equip business leaders with the essential skills to address this critical business need.

Examine your corporation’s impact on the environment from multiple perspectives, including a view of climate change that accounts for risk, carbon emissions and natural resource management. With expert guidance, you'll develop the ability to drive effective carbon management strategies, while formulating key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring your corporation’s sustainability efforts, and dependency on natural, social, and human capital.

Over the course of six weeks, you’ll gain access to expert insights and leading research from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Create a personal plan for developing, implementing, and leading strategies for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) in your organization, as you strive to affect positive change and reduce your organization’s impact on the environment.
