Introduction

The necessity to transition to a green economy has never been so urgent. But the questions remain – How green is green? How do we transition to green? How do we calculate green? How do we measure the impact of green? …and many more. While the term ‘sustainability’ is more often than not used loosely to imply a myriad of activities, but it has a deeper, holistic implication that goes much beyond the surface. It has to be managed effectively and efficiently

Need of the Course

Businesses leading with a linear economic model are primarily focusing on profit maximization which results in environmental degradation and adverse social impacts. However, it is no longer sustainable in nature in the current times as the world is grappling with climate change and its adverse impacts.

Moreover, with an increase in the awareness of corporate social responsibility and prevalence of more transparency in business affairs, companies are recognizing the urgent need to act sustainably and lead with a purpose.
