We know sustainability is important for the future of our planet, and its inhabitants. But can sustainability practices also add real financial value to the world of business?
Led by Dr Jane Menzies, MBA Coordinator, we'll explore local perspectives on sustainability with Dr Rory Mulcahy, Senior Lecturer in Marketing, and global perspectives with Prof Dr Deane Harder, Bern University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland).
Using real-life case studies, Rory and Deane investigate the multi-layered benefits of adopting sustainable business practices, from reducing environmental impact to enhancing brand reputation and stakeholder engagement.
Whether you’re a sole entrepreneur or working in a small start-up or a large organisation, discover how integrating sustainable practices into your business operations can lead to long-term success, resilience and a positive impact on society.
