In this one-hour masterclass with an academic and/or postgraduate ambassadors, students will develop their understanding of the relationship between business development/expansion and global sustainability challenges. They will critically examine different kinds of sustainability and how the sustainability “PR story” told by a company isn’t always at the heart of embedding sustainability practice. Students will develop their knowledge of the different challenges and opportunities face by businesses and not-for-profit organisations in embedding sustainable practices.
