Business leaders learn how to meet the challenge of sustainability through a series of four courses that lead to a sustainable business leadership certificate.

Business people, governmental regulators and consumers alike are aware of the growing need to protect the biosphere, natural resources and social stability. Becoming part of the solution is proving to be both profitable and fulfilling. The courses offered as part of the sustainable business leadership certificate prepares them to understand the opportunities and pressures of sustainability, "future-proof" their organizations and careers, meet customer demands and ensure long-term profitability.

Adopting the strategies these courses provide help businesses save money, control overhead trends, address vulnerabilities, maximize their supply chains and lead to new revenue streams. Indeed, sustainability credentials may soon be a professional expectation.

The certificate encompasses four courses, each four hours in length Sustainable Business and Corporate Responsibility, Sustainable Business Operations Strategies, Sustainability Business Plan Development, and Sustainable Business Planning: A Facilitated Workshop. Participants will explore the concepts, business trends and expectations for sustainable business practices; look at strategies in use today that benefit the natural environment; examine likely environmental regulation; and see how businesses are leveraging facilities, energy savings and product re-design.
