Setting a Green and Sustainable Business 26-27 S1

The objective of the module is to bring the student to produce a reflection on the different forms that green business can take for a company. During the training, the student will be led to address:
• The assessment of the existing situation: What are other companies doing to be green and sustainable? An overview of what is behind the terms SD, green business and waste management today, and a reflection about personal expectations towards green businesses
• How to be greener and more sustainable? Based on a real case study, the student will try to solve the impossible equation of company sustainability through SD actions. What is the compromise between ideal and achievable? A specific attention will be put on waste management. For the students that do not have a real case to study, they will be proposed a Portuguese case study.

Students will be able to:
– Decipher the information related to green business and sustainable development
– Discover tools used by companies to implement a sustainable strategy
– Identify personal expectation priorities towards green businesses
– Establish an evaluation grid of the SD / green business strategy of a company and carry out an audit of an existing small company
– Determine practical and achievable areas of improvement in relation to this evaluation, in particular concerning waste management
