Module description
Ford being accused of ‘greenwashing’ as they lobbied in favour of the controversial the Keystone XL pipeline while their sustainability policies pled otherwise. Philip Morris being shamed for not divesting their Russian assets after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These examples show not only that environmental and social sustainability is inherently linked to politics, but also how corporations are expected to take their political responsibility seriously. In this module, you will explore corporations’ socio-political environment and their political strategies and responsibilities. The module will give you hands-on tools to successfully take political responsibility for your corporation and drive sustainability change at the system-level.
