Strategies
that enhance your impact and boost your bottom line
To drive value in a competitive marketplace, you need a leader's perspective on how ethical and just business practices lead to long-term success. Mine the experiences of industry leaders to build your own strategy for approaching social, environmental, and governance issues—and apply your learnings to a meaningful project where you'll make recommendations for improving a company's societal impact.
You'll hear directly from thought leaders who do this work daily. What are their challenges and their day-to-day experiences? What barriers do they face, and how do they overcome them? You'll take their experiences and build your strategy for leading for the common good—so you'll be ready to hit the ground running when you complete our program.
