BUS 336 Sustainable Entrepreneurship

Based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), this case study-based course program enables students to analyze how business can be a force for good and tackle some of the world?s biggest problems. Sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) differs from traditional entrepreneurship by emphasizing climate innovation, sustainable living and environmental improvement. The course involves searching for opportunities for new products or services, new technologies, and new production processes that alleviate social or environmental issues and make more efficient use of energy and natural resources. Students will go through the entire process of starting up a sustainable enterprise or non-profit project, from developing and testing a social business model to pitching to impact investors and developing all aspects of the organization.
