Structure
Teaching and learning methods
The learning transmission will be through the on-line Canvas content. This needs to be worked through, reading the content and attempting the exercises.聽 To draw maximum value from the elective you should read beyond the material provided in Canvas. The supporting module book should be used when working on the assignment. It is also recommended that participants may want to read the book in full to get a complete perspective on sustainability and its potential impact. In carrying out the assignment, participants will have the opportunity to complete a sustainability analysis on a particular industry and consider the implications for one particular organisation. The results will be presented in a report which will be examined.聽聽
