The purpose of this course is to introduce the sustainability mindset, the principles of sustainability, the business drivers that make sustainability a top priority, and the ways in which a business can start down the road to a sustainable future.

In recent years, we have seen multiple crises – crises related to our financial system, our energy sources, and global climate change – that pose serious challenges to the way we live. Businesses that fail to adapt to these challenging times will face increasing investor scrutiny, limited access to credit, and consumer backlash – all of which make it difficult to thrive and innovate.

Sustainability is a new way of thinking, a solution-oriented approach that will help our company adjust to these challenging times. This training presents this new way of thinking as a necessary part of our company’s future success, a way to gain a long-term competitive advantage.

Sustainability is a systems-based approach, a way to understand the links between human, environmental and economic health. This training presents this approach as a way to help our company strengthen our stewardship efforts and realize new opportunities.

This course will teach you the Six Principles of Sustainability and how they integrate with our everyday operations. You will learn how new processes and initiatives will contribute to the sustainability of both our company and the well-being of all.
