Sustainability has immense impacts within business and business landscapes, which is seen in the move away from carbon-intensive products and technologies and interest in circular economy. Due to continuous and aggregated transgressions of planetary boundaries, firms face sustainability challenges, e.g., relating to the increasingly forceful transitional policies and the physical risks of climate change. The course prepares students to organize and manage firms' changes accordingly. This means, for instance, learning about instrumental, integrative, and so-called "strong" approaches to corporate sustainability and their consequences for managers, employees, and other stakeholders. Moreover, it also pertains to understanding the challenge climate change poses for businesses.
