Проектный семинар "Этика, социальная ответственность, устойчивое развитие"

In response to global environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges that humanity faces, responsible business leaders around the world are urged to make ethics, responsibility and sustainability a new normal way of doing business. The simplistic idea of corporations as wealth creating organizations with no obligations to their key stakeholders (customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society and the environment) is no longer acceptable in the public eye. The reformed capitalism and professional managers with a purpose to serve society and make a meaningful impact are becoming a response to an outdated shareholder-driven view of business. Today businesses with purpose are expected to act as agents of world benefit and make an active contribution to meeting the 17 United Nations Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs). This course provides key concepts and frameworks for integrating ethics, responsibility and sustainability into the core business practice. The course is designed in a very innovative way to enable students to develop a sustainability mindset by engaging them in reflective practices on their own values and lifestyle to enable changing habits, connecting to transformational life stories of guest-speakers, discussing cases of transition to circular business models, applying cinemalogy and participating in group learning projects on ESG-driven strategies to address business contribution on global challenges in the Russian context.
