Businesses worldwide have recognized the uncertainty associated with global challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, social inequality, etc.,Socio-ecological problems such as climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, natural resource degradation and global inequality have been worsening and not improved for the last several decades. With this volatile, complex, and global uncertainty, businesses and their employees must understand key environmental and societal risks and opportunities associated with long-term value creation. Businesses worldwide operate in a rapidly changing global ecosystem with increasingly demanding environmental and social standards. Companies have recognized the urgent need to respond to global challenges by changing their business model, operations, and practices and enhancing the skills of their employees. Companies doing good in society are also doing better in their business in long-term value creation.The global community demands ESG, value preservation and sustainable value creation for all stakeholders and building business resilience with responsible investment.ESG Global Survey in 2023 reveals that institutional investors are driven towards sustainability management in business. 41% of them prioritized their commitment to low-carbon transition strategies compared to the earlier period, and 48% are planning to do so within the next two years (BNP Paribas, 2023). The focus on sustainability, as measured by ESG, is how companies can create value for all stakeholders, including the financial return for their shareholders through long-term value preservation. The flourishing businesses of the future proactively respond to today's global challenges, create sustainable value, and deliver net-positive impacts to society and the natural environment. Therefore, future executives and managers who lead these organizations must understand how these socio-ecological factors affect their business.If your organization already has a sustainability program or is planning to develop impactful initiatives, this course will help you understand sustainability management in business, and enhance your skills to lead your sustainability and ESG initiatives.The ability to deliver products and services sustainability and meet the needs of today without sacrificing the needs of future generations presents one of the most extensive business opportunities to create value for businesses.
