COURSES
Every year our society makes use of the resources that the planet Earth takes about a year and a half to regenerate. This and other empirical evidence of global significance bring the theme of sustainability to the center of the economic, political and social debate. Recent studies show that a sustainability-oriented management approach adopted by some companies leads to a medium-long term competitive advantage over competitors, a success achieved thanks to the ability to innovate the business model and to introduce measurement tools to monitor and to better manage the value creation process. The course aims at opening a debate on the introduction of sustainability policies and practices within companies.
