This module aims to provide you with a solid understanding of environmental sustainability in relation to management and business, in the context of the natural environment. Particular attention will be paid to various levels of this topic, e.g. global, regional, national and local issues, to various environmental challenges (climate change, waste and pollution) and their implications for businesses, in terms of business functions (strategy, logistics, production, marketing) within the legal frameworks. Students should develop a sound knowledge and critical awareness of issues pertaining to the environment and sustainable business and management practices. A range of approaches will be used to teach this module and I hope you find this a rewarding module to take.
