The Sustainability Management course provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding the principles, frameworks, and practices that underpin sustainability in contemporary organizational contexts. The course introduces students to core concepts of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and explores their implications for corporate strategy, accountability, and long-term value creation. 

A central focus is placed on the corporate reporting landscape, with particular attention to the most widely used sustainability reporting frameworks. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, their underlying principles, and their practical application in sustainability disclosure. 

The course further examines the process of materiality assessment, enabling students to identify and prioritize sustainability issues according to their relevance for stakeholders and their impact on society and the environment. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are employed as a reference framework to guide this analysis. 

In addition, students will engage with theories and practices of stakeholder engagement, gaining the ability to design effective communication strategies that enhance transparency and strengthen stakeholder relationships. The course also surveys different models of sustainable business, analyzing how such approaches contribute to sustainable development while aligning organizational objectives with broader societal needs.
