Description
One of the most important assets that makes businesses sustainable is accountability. This course begins by introducing you to the concept of accountability and explains why it goes hand in hand with a sustainable business. It then continues by discussing sustainability reporting, its importance, and the role of certification within sustainability reporting. You will also learn about life cycle management, carbon footprint analysis, and their importance to a sustainable business.
The course will then look into the recruitment and selection process of sustainable businesses, its training and performance appraisal, and the importance of fair wages and employee benefits.
