Introduction to Sustainable BusinessFrameworks (CSBA 103) March 24, 2009

---

Incorporating sustainability is an inherently multifaceted undertaking,
and many conceptual frameworks exist to guide businesses in their
planning. In this workshop, we will introduce and analyze comprehensive
strategies to integrate sustainable principles into your business
practices. What context does a business use to decide upon short- and
long- term goals? How does a business measure results and find suitable
metrics? Participants will leave with knowledge of the best-known
approaches to sustainable thinking.
