Università Roma Tre

The course aims to provide students with an initial understanding of the fundamental concepts related to sustainability, with a focus on the role it plays for businesses. The goal is to help develop a critical and informed view of the topics covered, relating the economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability to corporate choices and responsibilities.

During the course, both theoretical and more operational and managerial aspects will be addressed, with reference to institutional actors, regulatory developments and the tools that companies use to govern and communicate sustainability.

The overall objective is to provide students with useful tools to begin to understand how sustainability can be integrated into business management and how it can represent not only an obligation or constraint, but also an opportunity for businesses. In particular, it will highlight how today it is no longer possible for a company to be truly sustainable without communicating it clearly and transparently, just as credible and consistent communication cannot be done without substantial commitment.
