About the Course

We are surrounded by so much discussion of sustainability that it can sometimes become overwhelming. Important questions include: What role can business have in ensuring the sustainability of the planet? How should business work with society to preserve the environment? These questions will be answered in this course as we explore the meaning of sustainability and its impact on modern organisations as they move to circular ideas to reduce waste, increase recycling and become fit for our modern society. In the course you will not only learn about the role of business in sustainability, but also your own personal contribution. In addition to environmental issues we will also reflect on how employees are pressuring firms to see themselves as a positive part of the wider society. The specific topics we will cover include: Paris Climate Accord, Carbon Footprint, the circular economy, reverse logistics, recycling strategies, right to repair, Corporate Social Responsibility, Bottom of the Pyramid and developing economies, and fair trade business models. By the end of the course, your understanding of sustainability and business's relationship with society will have increased considerably. You will develop new skills in research and analysis and will have lots of new ideas to take away with you and apply in your own organisation and your own working life....

This class helped me to realize what goes on behind the scenes into such things as the global economy and its influence on the modern populace.

Too basic, did not offer real solutions

This course barely scratches the surface of the topic and does not contain any instruction or guidance of learners. The sum total of original content in the course is approximately 22 minutes of video, being only introductory briefings to the subject matter by the Professor. The rest of the course consists of links to news articles, or videos produced by news organizations. There is little or no engagement with the deeper theoretical or academic treatment of sustainability and circular economy issues. I get the impression that the course as a whole would have taken about an hour to conceive, design, and publish, and yet the institution suggests it is three weeks' worth of learning.

If the agenda seems promising, the content is poor.
