Business Sustainability in the Circular Economy
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.

Most of the study was tell us to go to a link and the professor was not doing the same. If you dramatize it, it is a better way of learning for an adult learner.

Reviewed Mar 28, 2023This 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.

Reviewed Sep 2, 2025Very helI found the Corporate Sustainability in the Circular Economy course to be highly engaging and insightful. It provided a clear and practical understanding of how sustainability principles can be integrated into business strategies while promoting circular practices. The case studies and real-world examples made the concepts tangible, and the interactive discussions helped me critically reflect on environmental, social, and governance challenges. Overall, this course has significantly deepened my knowledge of sustainable business practices and inspired me to apply these principles in professional contexts.pful

Reviewed Nov 23, 2023La tercera semana la dedicaría a temas de diseño para la economía circular más que a etiquetados de comercio justo. Queja. El certificado no hace referencia a las horas equivalentes de curso, cuestión que es fundamental para la búsqueda de empleo público.
