Contents
This lecture provides an advanced introduction into Corporate Sustainability Management. What is sustainability? Why is it increasingly important for businesses? What challenges and opportunities are embedded in it? Following a brief recap of the concepts of sustainability and sustainability management, we will use this perspective to take a closer look at various corporate functions. How do sustainability questions influence and interact with the business firm in areas such as human resources, logistics, supply chain management, accounting & reporting, or in production? In the exercise (Übung), students will apply this knowledge to reallife cases, thereby further enhancing their understanding of sustainability and its management in corporations. Particularly, students will gain insights into challenges, risks, and opportunities in regards to sustainability in businesses. Throughout the lecture and exercise, we will follow the concept of integrated sustainability management, thus the integration of the three pillars of sustainability: economy, natural environment, and society into the core of a business.
