Tavoitteet

Kestävä kehitys ja vastuullisuus ovat paljon muutakin kuin vain roskien lajittelua ja viemistä oikeisiin roskakoreihin. Kestävät hankinta- ja tuotantomenetelmät läpi koko toimitusketjun ovat nykyään välttämättömiä ja yritysvastuu on yritysten olemassaolon perusedellytys. Tällä kurssilla opit, kuinka kansainväliset vastuullisuusaloitteet, kuten YK:n Global Compact, vaikuttavat yritysten toimintaan.

Kurssin kompetenssit:
Tällä kurssilla edistettäviä ja arvioitavia kompetensseja ovat analysointitaidot, kyky kuulla ja soveltaa kestävään kehitykseen ja vastuullisuuteen liittyviä normeja ja koodeja, tietoisuus yhteiskunnallisista, terveydellisistä ja turvallisista, ympäristöllisistä, taloudellisista ja teollisista vaikutuksista sekä vastuullisuudesta päätöksenteossa.

Kurssin oppimistulokset:
Opit vastuullisuusnäkökohtien merkityksen liiketoiminnassa. Osaat arvioida kestävän kehityksen raportointia ja kuinka ympäristö-, taloudellinen ja sosiaalinen vastuu liittyy liiketoimintaprosesseihin, logistiikkaan ja yritysten strategiseen johtamiseen. Saat perustiedot kestävään kehitykseen ja vastuullisuuteen liittyvistä standardeista ja lainsäädännöstä.

Sisältö

Kestävän ajattelun kehitysvaiheet liiketoimintaympäristössä.
