One of the most important factors that influences whether a business is sustainable or not is accountability. This course begins by introducing you to the concept of accountability and explaining why it goes hand in hand with a sustainable business. It continues by discussing the importance of sustainability reporting, and the role of certification within it. You will also learn about life cycle management, carbon footprint analysis and their importance to a sustainable business.

The material then looks into the recruitment and selection process of sustainable companies, training and performance appraisals, and the importance of fair wages and employee benefits. You will also tackle how sustainability impacts various activities associated with finance, and how sustainable businesses can effectively manage their money. Finally, you will discuss green and socially responsible investment opportunities and be guided through why the insurance industry is interested in sustainability.

Sustainability is defined as the capacity to endure. A sustainable business is therefore one that is in it for the long haul. Setting up this kind of company means that it needs to be resilient so it will thrive in the long run. If you are a purpose-driven-professional, businessperson or entrepreneur who would like to succeed financially by learning the benefits of running a sustainable business, then this course is tailored-made for you.
