OTMT 644 SEER Metrics: Defining and Communicating (2)


Sustainability initiatives are important measures for assessing progress and furthering business development, but true sustainability is about more than just the number of initiatives undertaken by a company. Long-term sustainability requires consideration in every business decision and ensuring that measures flow from core capabilities rather than sustainability operating as a separate, isolated concept. This course will provide an opportunity to grapple with the challenges of defining sustainability and accurately yet equitably assessing progress according to appropriate sustainability metrics. Students will use case studies to learn how to define institutional sustainability through company specific parameters and metrics. The resulting definition will guide goals and objectives that result in accurate prioritization and recommendation of future sustainability initiatives.
