Corporate Environmental Responsibility: The Impact on Sustainability Management Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growing demand for sustainable corporate growth has created an increasing demand for employees capable of implementing a systems-wide approach to environmentally conscious initiatives. This paper explores key skills and goals for people wishing to better prepare themselves educationally for this kind of career. Implementing interdisciplinary approaches in order to merge economics, society, and the environment requires an education that is both practical and theoretical. The recommendations in this paper suggest that engaging in a career devoted to a holistic corporate sustainability agenda is more than combining traditional business practices with a moderate understanding of environmental issues. There is a strong cultural change that needs to take place for individuals attempting to successfully execute efficient sustainability management within a business environment.
