The Basis for Sustainability- It's All Conected: Confused by the term "sustainability" or "green"? Not sure what the corporate level office or your investor relations group has in mind when they bounce around such terms? You're not alone. Call it sustainability or call it something else, but we're seeing the field of corporate responsibility morph into a valid business approach, not just the latest fad. Sustainability and green initiatives need a management systems framework to succeed. With this framework, they will certainly thrive and avoid being just interesting possibilities. This course will cover the basis for sustainability and the triple-bottom-line principles guiding many corporations today. it will also explore the implications for employees and managers alike.
